For General Schedule employees
GS Paid turns the official OPM pay tables into a clear picture of your salary — what you earn now, what your next step increase pays, and where your career can go. Real 2026 locality rates for all 58 pay areas.
Requires iOS 17 or later. Free to use — no account, no sign-up.
What's inside
Your grade and step decide your salary, but the tables that turn them into a number are scattered across PDFs. GS Paid puts them in one place and does the math the way OPM does it.
Annual, monthly, and biweekly together, with your grade, step, and locality — plus a countdown to your next payday and pay stub.
Any grade, step, and locality area, with the base rate and the locality adjustment shown separately.
Search by ZIP code or browse the map. OPM defines locality areas by county, so GS Paid resolves the county behind your ZIP.
Your full within-grade step ladder — what every step of your grade pays, and how far it is to the top.
Where the two-step rule actually lands you. A promotion doesn't restart you at step 1, and most calculators get this wrong.
FERS eligibility and annuity estimates, plus annual and sick leave accrual with a use-or-lose projection.
Pricing

Accuracy
A wrong number here is a wrong salary. Every figure comes from OPM's published tables, and the features that encode federal rules were built from the source text.
Transcribed directly from OPM's published salary tables for 2024, 2025, and 2026 — already locality-adjusted and capped at the EX-IV limit, rather than recalculated with a formula that rounds differently.
The two-step rule follows the standard method in 5 CFR 531.214, comparing payable (locality-adjusted) rates — which matters at GS-14 and GS-15, where the pay cap flattens the top steps.
Annual and sick leave follow 5 U.S.C. 6303–6307, including the service-tier accrual rates and the 240/360/720-hour carryover ceilings.
The FERS basic annuity formula and eligibility rules follow 5 CFR 842, including the 1.1% multiplier at age 62 with 20 years of service.
OPM defines locality pay areas by county, not by ZIP code. GS Paid resolves your ZIP to its county and matches that — the same way OPM does.
