Law Enforcement (LEO) Payscale Table for 2018

The Law Enforcement (LEO) payscale is the federal government payscale used to determine the salaries of law enforcement officers employed by any of the 130 different Federal agencies that hire law enforcement.

Like the General Schedule (GS) Payscale, under the LEO payscale an employee's base pay depends on two factors - the LEO Paygrade of their job, and the Paygrade Step they have achieved (depending on seniority or performance).

This base pay is then modified based on a "Locality Pay Adjustment", which adjusts the LEO payscale based on cost-of-living in different areas within the United States.
