make a counter offer for more money in a face to face job interview.
I need almost 17% more than the initial figure that was briefly discussed in a phone interview.

Exact phrases of how to politely counter would be appreciated.

87% increase, you switched the 8 for a 1.

But seriously it's all about what they think you are worth and if the positions pay grade is negotiable.
