Military Pay Chart 2011 (Proposed 1.9%)

2011 US Military Basic Pay Charts

As of August 2, 2010, congress has yet to complete any of the 12 annual appropriation bills (including the 2011 Defense budget). With the new fiscal year just around the corner, and a long August recess set to get underway, I would be very surprised if congress has the defense budget completed and ready for the president's signature before the elections in November.

Recently, Senator Webb (D-VA), made his opinion known that the raise for 2011 should remain at President Obama's proposal of 1.4%, and to compensate servicemembers via special pays and, if needed, more recruiting incentives. Where members of the House remain committed to the 1.9%, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO) stated on June 8th that he was "interested in what the Senate has in store." It was on February 1, 2010, that President Obama proposed a 1.4% increase for 2011 - based on the ECI number.

On 28 May 2010, the House passed H.R. 5136, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, that states, "Effective on January 1, 2011, the rates of monthly basic pay for members of the uniformed services are increased by 1.9 percent." The bill is now on to the Senate, and all of the sudden, the 1.9% raise appears in jeopardy. An additional .5% has been added to the president's proposals since 1999 in an effort to bring the military's pay more inline with that of the private sector. This chart is based on the Employment Cost Index (ECI) percentage increase of 1.4% that was released on 30 October 2009 plus the additional half percent. With the current state of the economy and with the upcoming election, this should prove to be a very interesting year to watch.

The United States military's pay and allowances 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 are monthly amounts rounded to the nearest U.S. dollar.
