Welcome to the FederalPay FWS Pay Calculator!
The Federal Wage System (FWS) payscale is used to calculate the hourly wages for millions of blue-collar Government workers.
Like the General Schedule payscale, which applies to white collar employees, the your pay under FWS largely depends on your Location (the government installation you work at), your Paygrade, and your Step. However, the FWS payscale also requires your Level (Worker, Leader, or Supervisory), your Schedule Type, and your job's Funding Type (Appropriated Funds (AF) or Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF)).
To learn more about Federal Wage System payscale, see the 2025 FWS Payscale section.
