Ask for a pay rise with evidence your manager can take upstairs

Help me ask for a pay rise.

My role and how long I've been in it: [details]
My last pay rise: [when, how much]
What's changed since: [extra responsibilities, results, skills, covering for others]
What I'd like: [figure or percentage]
How pay is decided here: [e.g. annual review, manager's say, pay bands]
Timing: [e.g. review in March, or I'll ask now]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A one-page case my manager can forward: what I do now, results with numbers, and the ask.
2. A script for the conversation: how to open, make the ask and then stop talking.
3. Answers to "there's no budget", "wait until the review" and "everyone wants a rise".
4. What to ask for if money really isn't possible (title, training, flexible hours, a review date).
5. A follow-up email that confirms what was agreed and when.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English.
