Senior Launcher

I’m approaching my 6 month mark at my current company and will be asking for a raise. I am a software development project manager at a 60 person company but manage 13 developers. I currently make a $75k salary — based on research it looks like I should be paid just over $100k but plan to ask for $90k. Any insight as to if this is a reasonable ask?
