Federal employees would get a 3.3% basic pay raise and 1% more in locality pay in 2026.
This bill would give federal employees a pay raise in 2026. Most federal workers would see their basic pay go up by 3.3%, with an extra 1% increase for locality pay. This means more money in their paychecks starting next year.
Today, federal employee pay adjustments are made annually through existing rules, which include wage surveys for some workers. If this bill becomes law, most federal employees would see their basic pay increase by 3.3% and their locality pay increase by 1% for calendar year 2026. Federal skilled trades workers would also get a 3.3% basic pay raise for the government's budget year 2026, overriding the usual wage survey requirements.
