WF = with family, NF = without family; G2–G4 = quarters groups (set by grade). Values are annual maximums in USD.

How this rate is used

The Living Quarters Allowance (LQA) reimburses U.S. government civilian employees for actual rent and utilities at Edmonton, up to an annual maximum that depends on the employee's quarters group (a function of grade) and whether they are accompanied by family. The six annual ceilings shown — quarters groups 2, 3 and 4, each with and without family — are what mobility, HR and payroll teams use to budget overseas housing costs and set LQA grants.
