2027 federal pay raise FAQ
What is the federal pay raise for 2027?
No final 2027 OPM salary tables or final presidential pay action appeared in the official sources reviewed on August 23, 2026. This page will replace the planning boundary with published figures only after those primary sources are available.
Is the planning percentage an official estimate?
No. You choose the percentage. The tool applies it directly to current annual gross pay so you can test a budget scenario without treating speculation as an official rate.
Will my actual pay change match the scenario?
Not necessarily. OPM table rounding, a locality change, the pay cap, a promotion, a within-grade increase, a special rate, or another pay action can change the final amount.
Is this the 2027 retiree COLA?
No. Federal employee salary adjustments and retiree cost-of-living adjustments use different authorities and timelines. This page covers employee pay only.
