ECI is for total compensation for State and local government workers published by the Federal Government. To illustrate how it is calculated to be five percent of your salary, if ECI were 2.8 percent, then the raise would be 2.8 percent and the lump sum would be 2.2 percent If the ECI were 2.1 percent, then the raise would be 2.1% and the lump sum would be 2.9 percent.
