Analytical continuity
The release preserves all existing profiles while making GS-15 step 1 versus O-3 the public lead. The crossover uses new-hire after FERS, taxable-salary equivalent at 22%, and both profiles after Social Security; the cash-compensation counterpoint is shown beside it.
Next review triggers
The 2027 pages will be reviewed after material congressional action, an alternative pay plan, final 2027 pay orders, new OPM tables, or new DFAS/DTMO allowance releases.
