2013 Military Pay Chart

2013 US Military Basic Pay Charts

January 3, 2013, President Obama Signed the National Defense Authorization Bill for 2013 into law.

December 27, 2012, President Obama signed Executive Order 13635 "Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay" that increased the rates of monthly basic pay by 1.7% pay raise per ECI for members of the uniformed services per U.S.C. 37 203(a), and made it effective January 1, 2013. When the NDAA for 2013 is signed, the funding will be available for the raise. If the NDAA is not signed in time for the Jan. 1 effective date, pay will be made retroactive.

On December 21, 2012, reconciled and approved by both the full Senate and House, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013 is now on its way to President Obama for final signature. Because there is no change to the mandate of U.S.C. Title 37 in the bill, the 1.7 percent military pay raise based on ECI will be approved via Executive Order (same procedure as last year) -- the effective date of the raise will be January 1, 2013. Provided the president signs the NDAA before the New Year to provide funding for the pay raise, it should be part of the first check of 2013.

If the 1st or 15th fall on a weekend or national holiday, payment will be made the working day prior. The pay charts below are for active and reserve components of the United States Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard for the calender year 2013. The pay rates are monthly amounts rounded to the nearest U.S. dollar.
