increase in pay

Is pay bump or increase in pay the correct word? Can you correct the sentence?
The biggest pay bump or salary raise of all the players in the league is Jeremy Lin, who last year was getting paid 500,000 yearly. Now he makes 26 million over 3 years.

Thanks

"Pay bump," sounds terribly informal.
