Inflation has been consistently been 1-3%, so +25-75 cents/yr. At this point a 4-2-2-2 ($4) would be amazing but wildly optimistic, $3 over 4 years is our best case scenario IMO. More realistically I can see a 2-2-1-1 with retro pay, so a quick $1 boost then +$.25 for 2 years.
edit: Just keep in mind we haven't had raises consistent with inflation since the mid 2000s.
