Capped: the law limits locality rates to the rate for level IV of the Executive Schedule, $195,200 in 2025 (5 U.S.C. 5304(g)(1)). OPM's table shows the capped amount, and YepGS doesn't show an uncapped one. Law enforcement officers at GS-3 through GS-10 and employees covered by a special rate table may be entitled to a higher rate than this locality table shows. For GS-1 through GS-4 in the United States, special rate table 001M applies in place of any lower locality rate. YepGS doesn't cover those tables. Ask your human resources office, or see OPM's 2025 special rate tables . YepGS is an independent site that copies these rates from OPM's tables. It isn't affiliated with OPM, and these rates aren't a recommendation or a guarantee from OPM of what you're paid.
