IU’s University Budget Office has issued its annual salary guidance to support fiscal year 2027 budget planning across Indiana University, including guidance establishing a 3% salary increase pool for continuing faculty and staff.

The guidance includes:

• A 3% base salary adjustment pool for continuing faculty and staff. This represents the total funding available to units for salary increases; it does not mean every employee will receive a 3% increase.
• A minimum 1.5% salary increase for faculty and staff who receive an increase.
• Information regarding salary adjustments for union-represented staff employees has been provided to union leadership.

The salary raise pool reflects IU’s continued investment in its people, even as the university takes steps to manage expenses and ensure strong fiscal stewardship.

Salary increases are not final until approved by the IU Board of Trustees. The board next meets June 11 and 12 on the Bloomington campus, where it will also consider the university’s full operating budget for fiscal year 2027.
