The Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) determines how civil servants in Nigeria are paid across 17 grade levels. Each grade level corresponds to a set salary range, and salaries increase with higher grades and steps within each grade.

The CONPSS is part of the broader federal salary system that includes other structures such as CONHESS (health workers), CONMESS (medical doctors), and CONTISS (tertiary institutions). The CONPSS salary is adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the economy, including adjustments related to the national minimum wage.

What Is the Peculiar Allowance for CONPSS in Nigeria?

Civil servants in Nigeria are eligible for peculiar allowances designed to enhance their take‑home income. This may include housing, transport, meal subsidies, and peculiar allowance, which can be up to about 40% of basic pay depending on policy adjustments, though the exact percentage varies by agency and ministry.

What’s the Consolidated Salary?

A consolidated salary refers to a fixed monthly pay that civil servants receive regularly. It includes the basic pay and, in some cases, certain consolidated allowances. The consolidated figure does not include additional allowances that may be paid separately (e.g., housing or transport allowances).

How Do You Calculate Consolidated Income?

To calculate consolidated income, you combine the basic salary with any applicable allowances and subtract statutory deductions such as taxes and pension contributions. This final figure represents the net take‑home pay a civil servant receives each month.
