How does one address a tenure-track offer that is below expectations


I'm about to receive a tenure-track offer and was already informed about the offered salary. Unfortunately, the salary is barely an increase over my current postdoc salary. (In fact, taking into account the tax differences at my current location vs the location of the tenure-track institution, it's going to be a net pay cut.) Also, the salary is below the range that the department head indicated during my visit. I was very excited about the prospect of joining the institution, but now I'm wondering whether all the hard work during several years of being a postdoc was in vain.


I do have another offer (but for a non-research based industry job) and a couple more interviews (for tenure-track jobs) scheduled.



How do I best approach the situation without giving the impression as being someone who's overly demanding or gaming the system?
