What is your current salary?
A potential employer will often base their offer on your current salary. You should be transparent about your most recent earnings and be prepared to back up any salary requests.
"I am currently earning a base salary of 78,000 plus a car allowance of 900/month and health benefits. I am looking for a competitive salary in my next position."
"I am currently making 100,000 per year with two bonus opportunities. I am looking for compensation that is aligned with the role and provides an opportunity for growth."

If you are currently unemployed, it's best to give an answer that will help the interviewer to determine what you are hoping to earn in this role. I have provided an example below.
"In my previous role, I was earning 24 per hour plus benefits and two weeks' vacation pay. In this position, I would like to earn in the same range."
