PaySkein / federal law enforcement pay
Federal law enforcement pay tools for 2026.
Explore the available tools for federal officer base pay, locality adjustments, and qualifying premium hours. The 2026 salary snapshot and gross-pay audit are BOP-focused, not universal agency coverage.
Annual pay
Start with grade, step, and duty station.
These public lookups cover the supported LEO base schedule and its locality-adjusted annual pay.
Locality-adjusted annual pay
Choose a supported 2026 LEO locality and enter annual base pay to see the locality adjustment and resulting annual amount.
Premium pay
Estimate premiums from hours you have confirmed qualify.
Each calculator uses the hours and schedule details you provide. The estimates do not determine whether your assignment or hours meet an eligibility rule.
Night differential
Estimate the 10% differential using the applicable hourly rate and qualifying night hours you enter. The calculator does not decide whether work qualifies.
Sunday premium
Estimate the 25% premium for qualifying hours on a regularly scheduled Sunday tour. Enter full qualifying-shift, non-overtime hours; eligibility is yours to confirm.
Holiday pay
Estimate basic pay plus a 100% premium for qualifying, regularly scheduled non-overtime work. The selected schedule sets the hour limit; the calculator does not decide eligibility.
Put the inputs together
Review the gross-pay estimate and its assumptions.
The BOP-focused gross-pay audit combines supported base and locality pay with the hour inputs you provide, including a Title 5 overtime estimate. It shows assumptions and citations so you can review the calculation against your records.
Scope and sources
Know what the snapshot leaves out.
The checked-in 2026 salary snapshot and gross-pay audit are BOP-focused and do not establish coverage for every federal law enforcement agency. The snapshot covers supported grades GS-3 through GS-10. PaySkein does not model taxes or net pay, AUO/availability pay, LEAP, bonuses, retention, hazard pay, leave, FLSA exceptions, or agency-specific agreements.
Informational estimate only. This is not payroll, tax, legal, or financial advice and does not replace an official LES, timecard, or payroll review.
