Trump’s budget calls for 2027 pay freeze
Though the president’s fiscal 2027 budget proposal calls for a 7% pay raise for military service members, it fails to mention civilian federal employee compensation.
President Trump's fiscal 2027 budget proposal, released Friday morning, would freeze federal civilian employees' pay in 2027, all while granting a sizeable raise for members of the armed services.
An Office of Management and Budget spokesperson told Government Executive that under Trump's budget, civilian workers would receive no pay increase next January. But under the plan, members of the military would receive between a 5% and 7% pay increase, with the highest raises going to the lowest ranked military personnel.
“The administration recognizes the importance of America’s warfighters and their families, so the budget funds a military pay raise of 7% for all [Defense Department] military personnel ranked E-5 and below, 6% for E-6 to O-3, and 5% for O-4 and above,” the document states. “This enduring investment, far above the standard annual military pay raise, builds on the president’s recruiting and retention success, by doubling down on the administration’s goal to restore America’s fighting force.”
