CBO – Analysis of Federal Civilian and Military Compensation

by on

Analysis of Federal Civilian and Military Compensation, January 20, 2011 Letter to the Honorable Steny H. Hoyer

  • “The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was asked to compare federal civilian and military compensation. Total compensation can be divided into three components:cash compensation (including pay, cash allowances, and bonuses); noncash benefits (such as subsidized health insurance and child care); and deferred benefits (such as
    pensions and veterans’ benefits.) Because of the difficulties of estimating the relative size of noncash and deferred compensation, for this analysis CBO focused on cash compensation, addressing how salaries earned by federal civilian workers compare with cash compensation for military personnel. According to CBO’s analysis, median cash compensation for military personnel—including the tax-free cash allowances for food and housing—exceeds the salaries of most federal civilians of comparable education and work experience. In addition, according to prior studies, noncash and
    deferred benefits are also higher for military personnel than for federal civilian workers.”
