Appendix A - Annual Post Living Allowance – Nominal Salary

June 1, 2022

This table reflects the adjustment which applies to the nominal salary as specified in section 55.1. The annual salary is in Canadian dollars.

Notes:

1. This Appendix shall be adjusted annually on June 1^st in accordance with the methodology agreed to by the NJC FSD Committee.
2. Where an employee assigned abroad is in receipt of an annual salary which is lower than $40,450, the department must contact the NJC to obtain the information necessary to administer this allowance.

Formula for Calculating Allowances

1. Select the salary range in which the 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 by the NJC FSD Committee, 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 Midpoint/Nominal salary is $69,950.
• Multiply $69,950 by 0.622, which yields $43,509.
• Multiply $43,509 by a post index of 130 (e.g.), then divide by 100.
• The result is $56,562. Subtract $43,509 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $13,053.

Example 2

• A salary of $120,350 falls into the salary range of $100,000 to $100,000+, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $100,000.
• Multiply $100,000 by 0.487 which yields $48,700.
• Multiply $48,700 by a post index of 130 (e.g.), then divide by 100.
• The result is $63,310. Subtract $48,700 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $14,610.
