2013 Military Pay Charts, Proposed

October 2012

The Department reviewed military pay and allowances. For the next couple of years, increases
in pays and allowances will keep pace with expected increases in private-sector compensation.
In the longer run, basic pay raises will be held down in an effort to slow the growth in
compensation costs. More specifically,

For basic pay, the Department proposes an increase of 1.7 percent beginning
January 2013, a raise that matches the increase in the Employment Cost Index (ECI). The
planned raise for FY 2014 is also expected to match the ECI increases. However, in an
effort to control costs, raises beyond FY 2014 will be lower. Lower raises are delayed to
give time for military personnel to accommodate these changes.

If the bill passes, you can view the pay charts below and see how they might effect you.

The pay charts below reflect a pay raise of 1.7% and show MONTHLY pay for Enlisted servicemembers in the Military. Members are paid twice a month on the first and fifteenth, therefore you will receive half of the amount listed below on each payday.

The pay scales below are for active duty in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and National Guard.
