Does your manager already discuss pay with you? In most companies, raises for existing employees come from a fixed amount that the manager or director (or both) of the team must split up between everyone. The percentage possible is also often prescribed. These decisions happen a long time ahead of when the employees themselves find out.
You can tell your manager that you'd like to make more, and discuss how to make that possible, but it generally only happens when you are promoted. The conversation is likely not going to consist of the exchange, "I think I'm underpaid" followed by the manager saying"OK how much?" but instead, it will look like, "I think I'm underpaid," followed by the manager saying, "OK let's talk about how we can help you do things over the next year that can result in a promotion for you."
Because this process is long and vague, the standard advice is that if you find yourself underpaid, you will want to find another job elsewhere. And this is actually the only logical conclusion. If you absolutely feel dedicated to your current company, you can take any offer you get from another company to them and tell them your new market worth and that you would rather stay, and see if they will counteroffer. But be prepared for no counteroffer or one that is not as good. That can be pretty common.
