Foreign Office salaries are determined by a range of factors including grade of the person, performance and length of time in employment.
Details of our salary ranges can be found through the Data.gov.uk website on the FCO staff and salary data pages, and details of our highest paid staff can be found in the FCO Annual accounts in the Remuneration section on page 63 in the 2013-2014 accounts. All FCO staff who earn more than 150,000 are also published by Cabinet Office on the Gov.uk "high earners” pages.
