A statutory pay cap can cause several upper-grade cells to show the same annual rate. Position-specific special rates are not included.
Areas covered by table LR
OPM’s 2026 locality definitions and the checked county mapping assign 3 counties or county equivalents across 1 state or district to this salary table.
Locality pay generally follows the official worksite on the employee record—not a home address, mailing address, or ZIP code by itself. Use your SF-50 and agency HR office when the worksite assignment is uncertain.
