"How do I tell my boss I need a raise?"

Schedule a private meeting, not an ambush. Come with specifics: projects you've led, problems you've solved, revenue you've influenced. Know your market value from sites like Glassdoor. Frame it as 'I want to discuss my compensation to reflect my contributions' not 'I need more money.' If they can't do salary, ask about bonuses, equity, or a timeline for review. Most importantly - be ready to hear no, and have a plan for what that means for you.

1. Research market rates for your position
2. Document your achievements and contributions
3. Schedule a formal meeting with your manager
4. Present your case professionally with specific examples
5. Be prepared to negotiate and discuss alternatives
6. Follow up in writing after the conversation

Timing is everything - ask after a big win, not during budget cuts. Lead with value, not need. Your landlord raising rent isn't your boss's problem, but you exceeding targets by 40% absolutely is. Practice the conversation so you don't ramble. And please, don't threaten to leave unless you actually will.
Llama
Be direct but professional. List your accomplishments, research fair market salary, and request a meeting. Present your case calmly and be open to discussion. If they say no, ask what you'd need to do to earn one.
