POLICY NOTICE
The Post Living Allowance (PLA) is adjusted to reflect any change in the employee's gross annual salary, where such change results in movement to a higher salary band for the purpose of determining the employee's nominal salary and Post Index adjustment.
Furthermore, in accordance with FSD 55.4, the PLA has been adjusted to reflect annual inflation as reported by Statistics Canada, and revised to reflect the repositioning of the spendable income curve following the results of Statistics Canada's 2009 Survey of Household Spending, published in 2011.
The table below reflects the Appendix A to FSD 55 – Annual Post Living Allowance effective June 1, 2012.

Formula for Calculating Allowances
1. Select the salary range in which your annual salary falls.
2. Take the Midpoint/Nominal salary and multiply by the adjoining adjustment.
3. Take the product and multiply by the Post Index, e.g. 130, then divide by 100.
4. Subtract the product of #2 from the result, and you will have your annual Post Living Allowance.
5. In accordance with the methodology agreed to in the National Joint Council Committee on Foreign Service Directives, the maximum midpoint/nominal salary is $100,000 for the purpose of determining Post Living Allowance.
Example 1
- A salary of $69,700 falls into the salary range of $69,450 to $70,449, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $69,950.
- Multiply $69,950 by 0.512, which yields $35,814.
- Multiply $35,814 by a Post Index of 130 (e.g.), then divide by 100.
- The result is $46,558. Subtract $35,814 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $10,744.
Example 2
- A salary of $120,350 falls into the salary range of $100,000 to $100,000 plus, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $100,000.
- Multiply $100,000 by 0.445 which yields $44,500.
- Multiply $44,500 by a Post Index of 130 (e.g.), then divide by 100.
- The result is $57,850. Subtract $44,500 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $13,350.
