A measurement of the underlying event (UE) activity in proton-proton collisions is performed using events with charged-particle jets produced in the central pseudorapidity region ($|\eta|^\text{jet} < 2$) and with transverse momentum $1 \leq p_T^\text{jet} < 100$ \text{GeV}. The analysis uses a data sample collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 \text{TeV} with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The UE activity is measured as a function of $p_T^\text{jet}$ in terms of the average multiplicity and scalar sum of transverse momenta of charged particles, with $|\eta| < 2$ and $p_T > 0.5$ \text{GeV}, in the azimuthal region transverse to the highest-$p_T$ jet direction. By further dividing the transverse region into two regions of smaller and larger activity, various components of the UE activity are separated.
