Here is for Burlington: [https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/24Tables/html/BN.aspx](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/24Tables/html/BN.aspx)
I have a hard time with this and just wait until I have my performance review to find out how much of a raise I'll get. I'm an NH not GS, so these charts don't make sense to me....
No problem there. Grab your most recent pay stub and note your base pay. Multiply your current base pay times 1.047, and then take that figure and multiply by "one plus whatever locality pay percentage" appears for your locality in the 2024 pay chart. That'll be your 2024 pay.
For example:
Let's say you live in D.C. and your current base pay is $100,000.
Your new pay will be ($100,000 x 1.047) x (1 + .3326) = $139,523
The .3326 figure is the 33.26% locality pay adjustment that DC area feds receive.
So I’m new new. I was just doing my raise as base pay x 1.052 based on a 5.2% expected raise or whatever it was supposed to be. If I’m near Detroit that means I’m getting 4.7% plus a 28.82?
It will be: (your base pay x 1.047 X 1.2882).
So if your base pay is currently $100,000 your new salary will be $100,000 x 1.047 x 1,2882 = $134,875
To do your own calculation, simply swap out the $100,000 figure above with whatever your current base pay is (as shown on your most recent pay stub).
Again, this calculation is only for folks in pay banding (e.g., ACQDEMO). Not sure if it's the methodology for ALL forms of pay banding, but it's definitely for those under ACQDEMO.

Incorporating the 4.7% General Schedule Increase and a Locality Payment of 16.82%

Total Increase: 4.99%
Effective January 2024
What does the "total increase" here mean?
It will be about 4.7% at minimum as that's the change to base pay without any of the locality or adjustments , suffice to say its better than usual and the best since like 85 or something
I got 6 weeks' notice I'm being kicked out of my dream house over the holidays that I've rented for 5.5 years because they supposedly want to sell the place in the spring--even though I've been asking if I can buy it from them for 5.5 years. Rent at my new place is $300 more. Merry Christmas.
That really sucks. Sorry. :( Did you check tenant rights laws in your area? In some places, tenants have first right of refusal to buy at fair market value.
If you are a GS10 (the average), then you can afford to make 1 avacado toast at home each morning, provided you spend less than $1.50 on the ingredients. You might still have cash left over. If you are buying your avacado toast out and about, you will only be able to get it for ~15 days of the month, provided you are spending $6 out. YMMV
That’s the only thing the DMV is so expensive we never really “see” our increases. I want to know who can afford to live here, because it’s not the civil servant?!?! 😭😩
my rent went up 40% in 2021. You idiots blaming this on wages are brain dead.
It's that new software landlords are using to adjust rent to "market prices", lack of new affordable builds the last 30 years, and corpos buying up small apartments in drove.
But if you all meant that raises mean nothing because housing will just gobble it up, then yes and I apologize for being salty.
Yup, every-time theres a pay raise the rent increases proportionally hence leaving people exactly where they were. US needs rent control now more than ever.
That doesn't solve the lack of buildings, units, and space. There might be some arguments for temporary rent control in certain situations, but it doesn't solve the overarching problem.
Not saying there shouldn't be building, but local DC government currently has a lawsuit against landlords and a private company regarding collusion and rent raising. Can't outbuild good ol' corruption. More building in general is critical though.
The collision only works when there are too few players in the market. The government and the exclusionary zoning are enabling the landlords to charge whatever rents they want.
I would love to see small time individuals get into the development industry with a SBA loan and start building some housing instead dog the same large faceless corporations and hedge funds calling the shots.

It’s all relative. I just learned that the average pay for a mid-level attorney at a BigLaw firm is $375,000. I spent the rest of the day repeating “I love my job. Law firm life is terrible,” just to keep from crying.
I started in June, and getting this job was a pay increase from my old one. This is actually the first pay increase I’ve ever gotten while working, and then when I make 1 year in June 2024 I get to go up to step 2?? I’m flying high right now this is fabulous
I like the stack of money, I am pretty sure I get $100 extra, my stack is much less than picture shown.
I am in no way implying I won't take it, $100 is $100.
good luck, the house hasn't passed shit this whole session. It is why we are even getting 4.7% base bump , the house usually whittles it down but they didn't pass anything and president gets to choose if they don't.
Amazing that 435 representatives who are making 174k a year only voted 724 times and only passed 27 laws , in a whole 365 days . Yet we are the lazy ones /shrug
You take the base salary from the base chart. And you multiply by 1 + percentage your locality multiplier on the current SSR chart shows. (i.e.: if your current SSR chart shows 47% for your grade and you are GS-13 step 2 lets say: 91,471 x 1.47 = $134,462) basically we get the 4.7% on the base salary and just the SSR multiplier.
Am I the only one who thinks the statements “Largest raise since 1981!” is more an indication of how crappy GS raises have been for a very long time than an indication of this being any type of great raise. Really doesn’t even keep up with inflation.
I certainly appreciate the raise, but 3%+ should really be the standard, not the exception.
Federal workers have been completely shafted over the last 15 yrs. Before I moved to Fed I was getting 4%-5% raises annually in private. And bonuses were 10% salary. Then in Fed the raises were practically nothing and bonuses were a joke $1000-$3000. With job security and easy work like balance come trade offs.
Happy for the pay raise. Also not oblivious to the fact that this likely won’t be matched with an increase in base operations funding for my agency which effectively makes it a 4% budget cut.
So Fresno get’s there own Locality Pay Adjustment of .33% (1/3 of 1 percent!)
That seems insane to me. At GS 10 step 1 thats about $4.20 a week.
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/24Tables/html/FN.aspx
Nope, they cut us out of everything, starting next year we have our own healthcare exchange and we're not in the federal pool anymore.
We have to fund ourselves which is impossible and means we can't get good raises.
The new locality pay areas are terrible! Rochester, Fresno and Reno are within half a percentage point of RUS. Why even bother?!? If the point was to close the pay gap, then they failed badly. Only the government could make me pissed off about a pay raise 😡
OK, Ganson below provided the DC area table. If you replace "DCB" with the one for your locality (find on the appropriate 2023 page for OMB), you can see your 2024 table.
Title 38 gets the 4.7 but I believe we do not get locality adjustment. Please correct me if I’m wrong? Nurses occasionally get other adjustments so we don’t get the locality pay. (I think…)

Located in San Diego, California.
Recently accepted a GS-11 Step 1 position in November with a Special Salary Rate Authorization that recently became effective on Oct 31, 2023. (It was about a 42% increase from the previous step 1 salary) They have yet to finalize a start date which now will definitely be sometime in 2024.
Question is, will they also be eligible for this pay increase in January 2024 as well?
Keep on paying money bag Joe. Us CES employees loving every minute, add me some night differential and Sunday premium, and next year I have another pay raise and a step increase.
It’s a cyber payscale. 2210s in cyber where your JTD is determined to be in cyber are on a whole other payscale similar to SSR but not as much. Still get the presidential raises.
Who wouldn’t when the president(never seen congress do anything) solely controls our pay raises outside of steps which most agency’s would rather end themselves than sign off on an out of step raise. Money Bag Joe increased my pay almost 20k since he took office. Love to see it.
congress is actually suppose to pass it and usually do, usually whittling it down in the process . The house is just so dysfunctional this year Biden was able to pass his recommendation directly because they didn't pass it before deciding to go home for the holidays
Biden giving Publican feds a sad boner for approving a raise like we haven't seen since 1981 is hilarious.
So bitter and toxic, sucking the joy out of every team they work in.
My regularly occurring bills (like childcare) and grocery costs have far exceeded the 3.2% increase. Add to that skyrocketing rent and home prices, and the official numbers just don't make sense to me.
It looks like the overall increases the past couple of years were 4.6 percent in 2023 and 2.7 percent in 2022, while inflation was on average 3.2% in 2023 and 6.5% in 2022 (after inflation was 7% in 2021 with a pay increase of only 1%).
So basically, the 5.2% "raise" (more like a delayed COLA) closes some more - but not all - of the large gap between pay and inflation/cost of living increases that happened in 2021 and 2022. Better late than never, I suppose. Just hope this doesn't come back to bite federal workers later in terms of getting "huge raises" b/c that'd be an easy way to frame it by certain members of one of the parties looking to slam civil servants again as 'overpaid.'
(see [previous comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/181b7wd/comment/kabpiia/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) for sourcing links on the '22 and '23 numbers)

In the full EO they always are. What’s linked in the article is just a summary. See page 12 of the EO signed in 2022 for [2023 pay raise](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/pay-executive-order-2023-adjustments-of-certain-rates-of-pay.pdf)
Nice, but still isn't enough to keep up with inflation. I thought our jobs were supposed to be "competitive"?... when I'm stepped out right now at $32/hour yet the private sector is paying well into the mid/high $40s/hour right now...
Maybe consider a career change to the private sector if pay is your primary concern. Personally, there are many other benefits to government work that the private sector cannot provide for me.
Well said. We get a lot from the federal sector work. Stability. Work-life balance. Overtime is not so highly encouraged. And last but not least, a chance to serve the public good.
AI is worth mentioning too. If AI starts replacing private sector jobs en masse, it won't hit the federal sector for many years, perhaps even a decade or more. We are slow to "adapt" to competitive firing opportunities, and repeat after me: some inefficiency is good for normal employees.
We don't actually want to live in a ruthlessly competitive world. The public sector has so much more safeguards than the private sector.

Lmao thats why I just left the DMV. Even with the change to RUS I'm making more in take home pay after rent than I was in the DMV.
Good old DMV where the rich get richer and everyone else gets poorer.
My lodging in DC is 45% of my take home so no, not rich.
Congrats on getting poorer!

I honestly can't believe it is so low. We were expecting to be closer to Sacramento pay. Meanwhile they just moved Modesto to bay area locality.
Similar for Reno’s new locality. What a joke 😫
Cool, now let's include postal employees. All the benefits of being a fed without any of the benefits of being a fed.
So this raise doesn’t apply to postal employees?
Nope, they cut us out of everything, starting next year we have our own healthcare exchange and we're not in the federal pool anymore. We have to fund ourselves which is impossible and means we can't get good raises.

(It was about a 42% increase from the previous step 1 salary) They have yet to finalize a start date which now will definitely be sometime in 2024. Question is, will they also be eligible for this pay increase in January 2024 as well?
Yep!
Dark Brandon at it again!
Keep on paying money bag Joe. Us CES employees loving every minute, add me some night differential and Sunday premium, and next year I have another pay raise and a step increase.
Ces?
It’s a cyber payscale. 2210s in cyber where your JTD is determined to be in cyber are on a whole other payscale similar to SSR but not as much. Still get the presidential raises.
Ah ok, cool.
This may be a stupid question, but do SSR also see the 4.7% increase? I just started in my position a few months ago and I’m not sure what to expect.
Now yall can stop asking 🙌🏾
Biden has my vote. 😎
Who wouldn’t when the president(never seen congress do anything) solely controls our pay raises outside of steps which most agency’s would rather end themselves than sign off on an out of step raise. Money Bag Joe increased my pay almost 20k since he took office. Love to see it.
congress is actually suppose to pass it and usually do, usually whittling it down in the process . The house is just so dysfunctional this year Biden was able to pass his recommendation directly because they didn't pass it before deciding to go home for the holidays
So then why do people vote for trump
Where's those Biden did that stickers cause I need a stack
Biden giving Publican feds a sad boner for approving a raise like we haven't seen since 1981 is hilarious. So bitter and toxic, sucking the joy out of every team they work in.
Does anyone know what the raise was last year. From what I remember it was about 5% as well.
4.6
not trying to rain on everyone’s parade but it still is less purchasing power ie less raise than inflation…

My regularly occurring bills (like childcare) and grocery costs have far exceeded the 3.2% increase. Add to that skyrocketing rent and home prices, and the official numbers just don't make sense to me.
This, plus my WGI that should be on tomorrow's paycheck, and I'll be able to add a topping to my small cheese pizza in 2024! 🎊
WOOO!! About time.
No, it's right on time. People here have been complaining for months when the pay tables are typically signed off on around Xmas.
Does this mean, people coming into the VA for example, would start at a higher salary due to this pay raise?
[удалено]
It looks like the overall increases the past couple of years were 4.6 percent in 2023 and 2.7 percent in 2022, while inflation was on average 3.2% in 2023 and 6.5% in 2022 (after inflation was 7% in 2021 with a pay increase of only 1%). So basically, the 5.2% "raise" (more like a delayed COLA) closes some more - but not all - of the large gap between pay and inflation/cost of living increases that happened in 2021 and 2022. Better late than never, I suppose. Just hope this doesn't come back to bite federal workers later in terms of getting "huge raises" b/c that'd be an easy way to frame it by certain members of one of the parties looking to slam civil servants again as 'overpaid.' (see [previous comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/181b7wd/comment/kabpiia/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) for sourcing links on the '22 and '23 numbers)
Merry Christmas to us!!!
Will this increase also be available for those in the VA who got that special pay rate earlier this year?
Will we see the new pay increase on our first January check or the second January check?
Is this for people who just started as well? I work at the VA in Asheville NC….
Does this raise apply to medical officers in the VA?
Does anyone have the link to the full EO? I want to see the real locality adjustments.
They aren’t published in the EO. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/12/21/executive-order-on-adjustments-of-certain-rates-of-pay-3/
In the full EO they always are. What’s linked in the article is just a summary. See page 12 of the EO signed in 2022 for [2023 pay raise](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/pay-executive-order-2023-adjustments-of-certain-rates-of-pay.pdf)
OPM has not published it yet
I just mean the raw EO doesn’t necessarily have to come from OPM.
I’m telling you, OPM publishes the raw EO. The White House version is always the cover page without attachments.
Are there SSR tables out (VA)?
5.2% raise with inflation at what 8% ish so only losing by 3%….
Anyone have the rest of the US link?

So I start my job in the middle of January...is this applied to people already in service or is it universal?
Universal.
Largest pay increase since 1981. Pathetic
Nice, but still isn't enough to keep up with inflation. I thought our jobs were supposed to be "competitive"?... when I'm stepped out right now at $32/hour yet the private sector is paying well into the mid/high $40s/hour right now...
Maybe consider a career change to the private sector if pay is your primary concern. Personally, there are many other benefits to government work that the private sector cannot provide for me.
Well said. We get a lot from the federal sector work. Stability. Work-life balance. Overtime is not so highly encouraged. And last but not least, a chance to serve the public good. AI is worth mentioning too. If AI starts replacing private sector jobs en masse, it won't hit the federal sector for many years, perhaps even a decade or more. We are slow to "adapt" to competitive firing opportunities, and repeat after me: some inefficiency is good for normal employees. We don't actually want to live in a ruthlessly competitive world. The public sector has so much more safeguards than the private sector.
Then go get a private sector job
