Common questions
Does this cover Police, Coast Guard or Defence Force pay?
No - only the General Public Service scales (PS1 to PS30) are shown. Belize's Police, Coast Guard and Defence Force are paid on separate, more complex rank-based scales from the same circular, not yet covered here.
What does a formula like "8422 x 555 - 18967" mean?
It's the government's own shorthand for how a scale's 20 points are built: start at the first figure (8,422), add the middle figure (555) at each step, finishing at the last figure (18,967).
What changed in the October 2025 pay revision?
A 4.5% increase across every General Public Service pay point, effective 1 October 2025. Each point's prior (pre-October-2025) rate is shown alongside the current one.
How much tax and Social Security come out of a Belize public-service salary?
Income Tax (25% above a BZ$29,000 exemption, with a tapering credit just above it) and Social Security (a 13-band wage schedule, roughly 2-4.5% of pay). Use the Belize take-home pay calculator for an exact figure.
