The Phoenix Locality Area is a General Schedule locality primarily located within Arizona. Federal employees who work within the Phoenix locality area receive a locality adjustment of 21.44%, 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 Phoenix, 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 2023 General Schedule pay table, with Phoenix's 21.44% 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.

Note: We have projected the 2024 General Schedule payscale below based on last year's General Schedule base pay increase of 4.1%. We will publish the official General Schedule payscale for 2024 when it becomes available.
