Estimates, not pay offers. FedRateCalc is independent and is not affiliated with the Department of Defense, OPM or any government agency. The hourly rates are the regular wage schedules published by DCPAS, rounded as published. Annual figures multiply the hourly rate by 2,087 hours and are estimates. Your own pay depends on your agency, your schedule, any special rate schedule, overtime and differentials, so confirm it with your agency HR office.

Where the Hawaii island schedules apply

DCPAS prints one schedule for each island, and DCPAS's county list for the whole wage area is Hawaii, Honolulu, Kalawao, Kauai and Maui counties. DCPAS does not say which county each island schedule covers. The pairing on this page comes from 5 CFR 532 Appendix C, which lists the Hawaii wage area's survey area as Honolulu and, in its area of application: “Kauai (includes the islands of Kauai and Niihau)” and “Maui (includes the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe)”. Honolulu County is the island of Oahu, and Kalawao County is on Molokai.

Which counties does the Hawaii wage area cover?

DCPAS's county list for the whole wage area is Hawaii, Honolulu, Kalawao, Kauai and Maui counties, and it prints one schedule for each island. The pairing of islands and counties on this page comes from 5 CFR 532 Appendix C, not from DCPAS: it lists Honolulu as the survey area and, in the area of application, "Kauai (includes the islands of Kauai and Niihau)" and "Maui (includes the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe)". Honolulu County is the island of Oahu, and Kalawao County is on Molokai.
