About WhatTheyArePaid

WhatTheyArePaid is a free salary research tool for federal employees. We compile official government employment data and present it clearly so anyone can understand what federal jobs pay.

What we show

Average annual salaries, salary ranges, employee headcounts, grade-level breakdowns, and geographic distributions — all by agency and occupation, from official federal employment records.

What we don't do

• We don't require accounts or registration.
• We don't store your searches.
• We don't run ads or sell data.
• We don't display individual employee names or personal information.

Data

All data comes from official federal employment programs and is aggregate in nature. It represents reported base pay and may not include all compensation components such as locality adjustments, bonuses, or benefits.
