Common questions

How much does a Allegheny County Government employee make?

Full-year employees were typically paid $67,578 in 2025; most earned between $53,682 and $85,573. Counting all 6,003 people paid during the year, typical pay was $55,316.

Why do so many people earn very little?

The list includes everyone who got a paycheck during the year: part-time, seasonal and short-term workers, and people who joined or left partway through. 879 people (14.6%) were paid under $10,000.

Who counts as a full-year employee?

"Employed all year" means the person's original start date is on or before January 1, they have no termination date in the year, and they received at least 90% of their published annual salary as regular pay.

Does this include benefits like health insurance or pension?

No. It is the pay people received: regular salary or wages (89.6% of all pay), overtime (10.1%) and extra pay such as allowances, longevity and severance (0.3%).

Where does this data come from, and when is it updated?

From Allegheny County (via Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center) (alleghenycounty.us). Our figures match the agency's latest release; the next update is expected in January 2027.

"Typical pay" is the median: half earn more, half earn less. "Most earn" is the middle half of workers. "Employed all year" means the person's original start date is on or before January 1, they have no termination date in the year, and they received at least 90% of their published annual salary as regular pay. Hire and end dates are used only to work this out; we don't store or publish them. Figures are calculated by PublicPayData from the official dataset; 0 records with $0 or negative pay are left out.
