The IPPIS salary structure in Nigeria depends on an employee’s approved salary structure, grade level and step. IPPIS means Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System and handles personnel and payroll administration for participating Federal Government employees.
For general Federal Public Service employees, the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) provides the applicable salary rates. Other federal employees use different salary structures according to their establishments and cadres.
IPPIS Salary Structure 2026
IPPIS does not have a separate salary scale for every Federal Government employee.
Instead, the payroll system processes salaries according to the approved salary structure attached to an employee’s establishment. For example, the Nigeria Customs Service salary structure uses CONPASS rather than CONPSS.
NSIWC maintains the federal salary structures and publishes the circulars that set salary rates and allowances. Its archive contains the 2024 CONPSS implementation of the national minimum wage, as well as separate structures for health workers, medical officers, university staff, research institutions and other categories.
The latest CONPSS salary figures currently used for the grade-level table came from the Federal Government’s 2024 national minimum wage implementation. NSIWC issued the CONPSS circular on 30 September 2024.
The Federal Government then approved a peculiar allowance for staff on CONPSS from 1 May 2026, so the 2026 pay position includes the applicable salary rate plus approved payments where an employee qualifies.
IPPIS Salary by Grade Level
The CONPSS structure covers Grade Level 01 to Grade Level 17. The annual figures below come from the 2024 CONPSS implementation, while the monthly amounts show the annual figures divided by 12.

The table gives the salary range across the relevant steps within CONPSS. It does not show the final amount an employee receives after deductions or additional payments. The figures match the published 2024 CONPSS breakdown.
IPPIS Salary for Level 8

IPPIS Salary for Level 10
A CONPSS employee on GL 10 earns between ₦1,806,041 and ₦2,399,271 per year, equivalent to approximately ₦150,503 to ₦199,939 per month before applicable deductions and additional approved payments.
IPPIS Salary for Level 12
A CONPSS employee on GL 12 earns between ₦2,186,637 and ₦2,875,506 per year, equivalent to approximately ₦182,220 to ₦239,626 per month before applicable deductions and additional approved payments.

IPPIS Salary Components
An employee’s payroll can contain several separate entries.
Basic salary comes from the applicable salary structure, grade and step. Allowances add approved payments attached to the employee’s duties, cadre or employment conditions. Deductions reduce the gross amount before the government pays the employee.
The resulting net salary represents the amount credited after applicable deductions.
Salary Structures Used Under IPPIS
Federal Government employees do not all use CONPSS.
NSIWC maintains several salary structures and has issued separate 2024 minimum-wage implementation circulars for different groups.
| Salary Structure | Full Name |
| CONPSS | Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure |
| CONHESS | Consolidated Health Salary Structure |
| CONMESS | Consolidated Medical Salary Structure |
| CONRAISS | Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure |
| CONUASS | Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure |
| CONTISS II | Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure II |
| CONPCASS | Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure |
| CONTEDISS | Consolidated Tertiary Educational Institutions Salary Structure |
NSIWC also provides a CONPSS equivalent conversion table for other salary structures.
Consequently, an employee’s IPPIS salary cannot be determined from the grade level alone.
IPPIS Secretariat Salary Structure 2026
The IPPIS Secretariat does not have a separate salary table simply because employees work within the IPPIS administration.
The salary applicable to an employee depends on the approved structure, grade level, step and position attached to that employee. This means the salary table for a general Federal Public Service employee does not automatically apply to every person working in the IPPIS Secretariat.
IPPIS Allowances in 2026
Federal employees can receive approved allowances in addition to their salary.
The applicable payments depend on the employee’s salary structure, cadre, duties and the relevant government circular. NSIWC’s 2026 archive includes a peculiar allowance for CONPSS staff effective from 1 May 2026. It also contains a review of daily travelling allowance, estacode and other allowances for officers on GL 01–17.
The Federal Government also approved higher peculiar allowances and other welfare benefits for civil servants in April 2026.
Therefore, an employee’s total earnings can exceed the basic salary listed in the CONPSS table when the employee qualifies for the approved payments.
IPPIS Salary Deductions
IPPIS payroll can contain statutory and authorised deductions before salary reaches an employee’s bank account.
These deductions can include pension contributions, PAYE tax, National Housing Fund contributions where applicable, loan repayments, cooperative deductions and other authorised payments.
The exact deduction depends on the employee’s payroll records and applicable rules.
How IPPIS Salary Is Paid
The Federal Government processes participating employees’ payroll through IPPIS.
The payroll records contain the employee’s applicable salary structure, grade, step and other remuneration details. The system then processes the salary and authorised deductions for payment.
The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation has also issued an IPPIS payroll validation portal for payroll administration.
IPPIS Salary Arrears and Shortfalls
Salary credited through IPPIS can differ from an earlier month when the earlier payment included arrears.
In a March 2025 Treasury Circular, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation explained complaints about lower January and February 2025 salary payments. The office said employees had received minimum-wage arrears, 25%/35% salary-increase arrears and wage-award arrears between October and December 2024, which made those months’ payments higher than normal salary payments.
The same circular said some December 2024 overpayments resulted from a system error and that the government was recovering the affected amounts through deductions.
Who Is Paid Through IPPIS?
IPPIS serves participating Federal Government ministries, departments and agencies. However, employees can fall under different salary structures according to their establishment and cadre. For related Federal Government salary information, see the EFCC salary structure and NDLEA salary structure.
The official IPPIS verification platform lists Federal Government establishments enrolled or being prepared for registration, including the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Federal ministries and other agencies.
Coverage therefore depends on the employee’s establishment and the government’s payroll arrangements.
How to Check Your IPPIS Salary
An employee needs these details to identify the applicable salary:
- Salary structure
- Grade level
- Step
- Cadre or position
- Approved allowances
- Payroll deductions
The appointment letter can provide the grade and position. The applicable NSIWC salary structure provides the salary rates. The payslip then shows the actual payroll entries.
Employees who need to access the official IPPIS registration service can use the government portal, which requires a reference number and registration token for login.
IPPIS Updates in 2026
The Federal Government continued to update the personnel side of IPPIS in 2026.
The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation announced an improved IPPIS-HR Module Employee Self-Service Application in June 2026. The update introduced new digital functions for employees across Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
NSIWC also issued the 2026 peculiar allowance for CONPSS staff from 1 May and reviewed other Federal Public Service allowances.
