Data

Federal benefits data, dated to the source

FFEBA's data pages publish the federal numbers people look up most, each pulled from the official OPM, TSP or Social Security source and stamped with the date we retrieved it. One dataset per page, with a plain explanation of how to read it.

Every table here is U.S. government work, which is public domain. We attribute each one and print the retrieval date beside it, because rules and rates change and you should always know how current a number is. Nothing on these pages projects forward: they report what the source published.

Pay and leave

  1. 01GS pay scaleThe current General Schedule by grade and step, with every locality pay area's percentage.
  2. 02Federal holidaysThis year's and next year's federal holidays with observed dates.
  3. 03Sick leave conversion chartOPM's chart for turning unused sick leave hours into service credit.

Retirement income

  1. 01COLA historyEvery CSRS and FERS cost-of-living adjustment since 1969, with the FERS diet-COLA rule.
  2. 02TSP share price historyLatest share prices and annual returns for every TSP fund, from official daily prices.

Insurance

  1. 01FEHB premiumsTotal premiums for every FEHB plan and enrollment type, filterable by state.
  2. 02FEGLI ratesBasic and Option A, B and C premiums by age band, for employees and annuitants.
  3. 03IRMAA bracketsMedicare Part B and Part D income-related surcharges by income tier.

How we keep these current

Our ingest pulls each dataset from its official source on a schedule matched to when the source updates: pay tables in January, COLAs in October, FEHB premiums each fall before Open Season, TSP prices quarterly. A check fails loudly if a source changes shape, so a broken table never publishes quietly. When we correct a figure, we note it on the page. Read our editorial policy for the full standard.

Put the numbers to work

The tables feed our calculators, which turn them into educational estimates on your own inputs, and our guides, which explain the rules behind them.

FFEBA is an education organization. If you want someone to look at your own numbers, we can match you with a Federal Retirement Consultant (FRC®), a professional trained on federal benefits. The FRC designation is listed with FINRA. The first review is free, nothing is booked until you choose a time, and you are never obligated to work with anyone we introduce. Get matched with an FRC.

The free benefits review

“Can I retire at 57 with the FERS supplement?”

It depends on your birth year, your years of service and whether you keep working, because the supplement has an earnings test and stops at 62. An FRC works it through on your own record, and the review costs you nothing.
