Fact Sheet: Within-Grade Increases. Description. Each General Schedule (GS) grade has 10 steps. Within-grade increases (WGIs) or step increases are periodic increases in a GS employee's rate of basic pay from one step of the grade of his or her position to the next higher step of that grade.
Calculate General Schedule Pay. Grade and Step create a grid of different pay rates. To determine your pay rate, find the intersection of your grade an step in the GS Base Pay Table. Once you have your base pay, multiple that rate by your locality adjustment. If you are grade 13, step 5 in 2016; your base pay would be $83,694.
