City of Chicago

Firefighter-Emt

Exact amount: $31,387,970.98

Calendar year 2026

Proxy: this title paid 32.0% of all 2025 scheduled wage adjustment pay on this line's department, so it gets that share of the 2026 line. 2025 actual (not 2026): $68,640,854 paid to 1,815 people.

This money is set aside for pay raises and back pay under union contracts. The City has not said which workers get how much, so this box is our estimate from who was paid on this account last year.
