Can I use the 2025 rates for a 2026 pay estimate?
No. The 2025 and 2026 schedules have different rates in each grade and column. Use the 2026 chart and calculator for 2026 estimates.

How do I read a column on this chart?
Each column is a range of cumulative years of service. A column labelled “Over 4” covers more than four years up to the next column, so six years falls in “Over 4”.
