wiggle room
if an employer asks how much you want to be paid? Then I say like $100,000 per year. Then he says I'm afraid $90,000 is as much as I can go.
Next if I want to argue with him about the salary. Can I say something like: is there any wiggle room on that salary?

Answer

You would usually say "Is there any wiggle room in that salary?", but that's totally the correct usage of wiggle room.  Just the other preposition would normally be used.

Answer

Yep! That's exactly the correct usage.
