A raise of 25% is unheard of.
0-5% is pretty standard for the same position year to year unless you're talking about extreme performance above and beyond what is asked for or position/title/career level changes or your company is doing extremely well. In my first two years at a company I worked like a dog and managed to get 12% and 18% raises, but I realized the increase wasn't anywhere near worth the amount of time I was putting in.

Also depends on industry.
