The Chicago Locality Area is a General Schedule locality primarily located within Illinois. Federal employees who work within the Chicago locality area receive a locality adjustment of 30.41%, which is applied to the base General Schedule payscale.
Locality adjustment rates are set yearly by the OPM to account for higher costs of living within Chicago, as compared to the Rest of U.S. locality raise (which is applied to all Federal employees not located within any other locality).
The chart below is the 2024 General Schedule pay table, with Chicago's 30.41% locality raise applied to the base pay rates. These are the yearly pay rates that are applicable to most salaried federal employees within this region, based on their GS Grade and Step.
