If you're super happy where you are, like your boss and their boss, like the team you work with, and enjoy the work, and the only reason you're considering leaving is the money, and the money is the only promise being made in the counteroffer, then it may be worth staying put.
I don't know how old you are, or how long you've been in your job, or if you think of this job as a career in a specific field, or what your long-term goals are. Money isn't everything. It's not even the most important thing in a job.
Write out a list of your personal goals for the next 1, 5, & 10 years. Do you want to retire soon? Or are you at the beginning of a career and you'd like to move into management within a year or three? Do you live to work, or work to live?
Paycheck aside, which job gives you better tools and opportunities to achieve your goals?
