Peanut Butter Raises Are Fading | Colorado Springs News
Description
Your paycheck future just got a lot more nuanced. The once-popular “peanut butter” pay raise—where everyone gets the same flat bump—is fading fast. While nearly half of employers eyed it for 2026, enthusiasm is cooling for 2027 as companies shift back to performance-based raises. Even with an average raise of just 3.5% (barely keeping up with inflation), your take-home pay could still grow thanks to potential IRS tax bracket adjustments. It’s not a bonus, but it might feel like one.
