The table scrolls horizontally on narrow screens. Salary cells come directly from OPM’s 2026 XML table AK.

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 AK

OPM’s 2026 locality definitions and the checked county mapping assign 30 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.

2025 versus 2026
