if your location isn't on the list then your locality is the same as "Rest of US". the 13%

Is that supposed to be like:

The rest of the U.S. get's...%

or

The rest of us get ....%

hehe

Rest of U.S.A. But its actually 13.86

its not always "the rest of us" from what i understand...for example, ACY (atlantic city) gets the 21.25 % that PHL gets

No, it's just a general area. I'd imagine northern NJ would get NY's rate. NH gets the rate for Boston.

I did those myself. Since the ATC Facility and Pay calculator is down for updating, this will hopefully help some people get an idea of this major change. If anyone would like to put in a request for a facility that is not listed in the above parameters, please feel free and I will post it up asap.

Depends on what facility...CDW,MMU,TEB EWR...all have the NY locality rate, not sure about the facilities in south jersey and whether they have the philly or rest of US rate

In reference to the post asking why Houston has a better locality rate than NY. Well its all politics. Even when i was in the military we got less COLA in england than people did in mainland europe. But ask anyone who has lived in europe and they will tell you england is way more expensive than the rest. Im going to NY so i would really like to see it be better. Long Island isn't the cheapest place to live.haha

Locality isn't based on cost of living. If it was a cost of living allowance, it would fall under COLA. Locality has several factors involved. Although I don't know them all, I do know that the cost of living has no impact.

I found this out by proposing the same question. The FAA currently authorizes COLA in Alaska and I think Hawaii, but that's it. So there is a "cost of living" figure, but it's not used to calculate locality.
