I've been with the same company for 7 years, and am considered to be between an above average and exceptional worker. My annual raise has always been a linear increase (as opposed to a percentage increase). Is this okay?

I make $52k.

Raise is always $1,500 each year.

6 years ago, a $1,500 raise was >3%.

Now it's crossed below 3%. Considering the pattern, along with the fact that my experience/reputation only grows and continues to grow, when should I step up and question why I continue to receive a linear raise as opposed to %? Or is a linear raise [for eternity] actually normal?

I'm very happy with my job and my employer and enjoy going to work each day. I plan to retire from here, so I'm curious of others experiences with this dilemma.
