Though a question like this can be uncomfortable, it is important to be straightforward and express your expectations. It is also important to reference the job posting and familiarize yourself with the salary listed or an average salary for this type of position. Also consider that your compensation may be based on factors such as education level, previous experience, leadership experience, and/or any significant accomplishments. State your explanation and provide reasoning as to why it is appropriate.

"Considering I have three years experience in a similar role, but have not yet held a managerial title, I would expect to earn 10% more than I currently am. That would put me right in the middle of the salary range you provided in the job posting. I think this would be appropriate because I have the necessary training and experience, and I am look to grow and develop as a leader. I am already familiar with some of the programs used here and if hired, I plan on staying for the foreseeable future."
