Pay distribution, full-time employees with published pay, September 2026
Federal pay depends mostly on grade and step, plus a locality adjustment for where the job is located; see the GS pay scale explainer.
OPM withheld pay for 77% of employees in this series. The figures here describe only employees with published pay; withholding is concentrated in certain agencies (see data coverage).
Change since September 2025
The median moved +3.5% from $70,687 in September 2025 to $73,191 in September 2026. Headcount went from 163 to 150 (−8.0%). A change in the median reflects both pay adjustments and who joined or left the workforce, so it is not the same as a pay raise.
