GS-1501 · Mathematical sciences
General Mathematics and Statistics (GS-1501) pay, 2026
Series 1501 is paid on the General Schedule, so pay depends on the grade on the posting and the locality area where you work, not the series itself. A posting like GS-1501-09/11/12 starts at GS-9 and can grow to GS-12 without competing again.
