My average salary increase when staying with a given company without getting a promotion is 6% (the biggest I got was 11%). My average raise with promotion is 15% (highest was 23%). My average salary increase by switching companies is 30% (highest being 37% twice).
The takeaway is I expect an average of 6% per year when staying with a company multiple years, or 15% if I get a promotion. If I want more, and there is no promotion to be had, I have to switch companies. A company that is inclined to give you 6% will not want to give you 30%, especially when threatened. Take the other job.
