Formula for Calculating Allowances

1. Select the salary range in which your annual salary falls.
2. Take the Midpoint/Nominal salary and multiply by the adjoining adjustment.
3. Take the product and multiply by the Post Index, e.g. 130, then divide by 100.
4. Subtract the product of #2 from the result, and you will have your annual Post Living Allowance.
5. In accordance with the methodology agreed to by the National Joint Council Committee on Foreign Service Directives, the maximum midpoint/nominal salary is $100,000 for the purpose of determining Post Living Allowance.

Example 1

  • A salary of $69,700 falls into the salary range of $69,450 to $70,449, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $69,950.
  • Multiply $69,950 by 0.516, which yields $36,094.
  • Multiply $36,094 by a Post Index of 130, then divide by 100.
  • The result is $46,922. Subtract $36,094 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $10,828.

Example 2

  • A salary of $120,350 falls into the salary range of $100,000 to $100,000 plus, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $100,000.
  • Multiply $100,000 by 0.445 which yields $44,500.
  • Multiply $44,500 by a Post Index of 130, then divide by 100.
  • The result is $57,850. Subtract $44,500 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $13,350.

The Appendix shall be adjusted annually on June 1st in accordance with the methodology agreed to by the National Joint Council Committee on Foreign Service Directives.
