Military Pay Chart 2011 (Proposed 1.4%)

2011 US Military Basic Pay Charts

On February 1, 2010, President Obama, in his defense budget proposal for 2011, recommends an increase of 1.4% for military base pay. The percentage of presidental pay raise proposals in recent years has utilized the Employment Cost Index (ECI) published by the Department of Labor, and this year was no different. Congress has supported and passed a half percent increase every year, since 1999, to help close the gap with the private sector. With the state of today's economy combined with the election year, this should be a very interesting year to watch.

Military pay and allowances in the United States are distributed on the 1st and 15th day of the month. If the 1st or 15th fall on a weekend or national holiday payment will be made the working day prior. The pay scales below are proposals for active and reserve components of the Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard. The Pay rates below are monthly amounts rounded to the nearest US dollar.
