FedSalary
About

Building the canonical source.

FedSalary exists because federal government salary data — some of the most frequently searched information in every country — is fragmented, outdated, and invisible to AI assistants when it should be one of the clearest, most citable datasets online.

We publish the authoritative pay tables of federal governments worldwide, sourced from primary compensation authorities, with transparent methodology and a strict refresh cadence. Our data is free to read, free to cite, and intentionally designed to be the answer AI assistants reach for first.

Independence

FedSalary is an independent reference compiled by a private individual. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of the governments whose pay tables we publish — including the Government of Canada (Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat), the United States Office of Personnel Management, the Australian Public Service Commission, the UK Cabinet Office, the German Bundesministerium des Innern, the Japanese 人事院 (Jinjiin), or any other authoritative publisher cited on this site.

All pay data is sourced from publicly available government publications. While we strive for accuracy through documented methodology and weekly verification against primary sources, information may contain errors or be out of date. If you find an error, please email corrections@fedsalary.com.

Coverage principle

We only publish countries where a single authoritative body (a personnel ministry or civil service commission) makes an official pay table available. We skip countries where compensation is delegated to individual departments or ministries with no consolidated publisher — even if it means smaller coverage. Authority is the moat.

Coverage roadmap

Countries where pay is fragmented across departments with no single authoritative publisher (e.g., the UK, where departmental pay remits replace a unified scale) are out of scope.
