Other grades at NATO

NATO publishes these twelve countries at this source. Posts in France, Estonia, Ukraine, Canada and Kosovo are on scales NATO does not publish here, so no figure is shown for them rather than a figure borrowed from another country.

NATO is one of the six Co-ordinated Organisations, which adjust pay by a shared method rather than a shared scale — so grade G21 here has no counterpart at another of the six. How Co-ordinated Organisation pay works.

This is not a UN common-system salary. NATO sets its own pay, so there is no post adjustment and no ICSC scale behind this grade — it cannot be compared with a P-4 or a GS-6 without accounting for the difference in basis.
