Promotion potential (also known as full performance level or FPL) means the highest level/grade that can be achieved in the career ladder progression of the position that is held on a permanent basis.

- Tenure (Box 24): Career or career-conditional (1 or 2); AND

- Your current position is a GS-12. You are temporarily promoted to a GS-13 position. The temporary promotion is not a permanent position, and your promotion potential is your current position of GS-12.
- Your current position is a GS-12. You previously held a GS-13 position on a permanent basis. GS-13 is considered the highest promotion potential you have held.
