Military Pay Chart 2011 (Proposed 1.5%)

2011 US Military Basic Pay Charts

The percentage of presidental pay raise proposals in recent years has utilized the Employment Cost Index (ECI) published by the Department of Labor. This chart is based on the ECI percentage increase of 1.5% that was released on 30 October 2009. With the state of today's economy combined with the election year, this should be a very interesting year to watch. As actual proposals from the administration and congress are released this chart will be updated.

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.
