The total increase for dc is 1.454% (maybe slightly more BC of rounding), assuming you aren't capped. But please correct me if I am wrong. My algebra is...rusty.
1.01*1.2478/1.2422 = 1.01*1.0045 = 1.454
1.01*1.2478/1.2422 = 1.01*1.0045 = 1.454

Hah! In the private sector, a .56% increase is an insult.
Won't it be 1.56% total?
Or is it .56 above the current locality pay, plus the 1% baseline cola?

Because it's based on what people earn in Houston, not how much a house there costs. The oil industry creates a lot of high-earners.

Locality pay is not just cost of living, it is cost of labor. In Houston, they are competing with the oil companies for people.
The think about the costs is you can adjust the numbers anywhere except DC and it will not make a big difference. In DC, the Government defines the job market.
I am a contractor -- my salary is limited by the GS schedule: I have had a government PM who could not get that it was reasonable that I was paid more. (except, I am a internationally respected scientist with advanced degrees; He wanted to pay me like a GS 13. I told him I have other options...)
