Federal employees will receive an average 2 percent raise in 2025 according to the executive order issued by President Biden.
As part of his budget request, Biden proposed giving civilian federal employees an average a 1.7 percent across-the-board pay increase with a 0.3 percent average bump in locality pay.
The Office of Personnel Management has issued new pay tables incorporating the pay raise at every level of the General Schedule and for each locality pay area. The pay raise goes into effect the first full pay period of the new year.
Federal salaries still lag behind those of their counterparts in the federal sector and starting in January we will resume the fight for a 2026 raise that will continue to narrow that gap.
