Military Pay Chart 2005

2005 US Military Basic Pay Charts

On November 24, 2003, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2004 was approved. The Act not only produced the pay raise for 2004, but had an adjustment for 2005 built in. Section 602(c)(2) required the normal adjustment in basic pay as statutorily required in 37 U.S.C. 1009(c), but also added an additional 0.5 percent to the Employment Cost Index (ECI) figure. For private-sector workers (not seasonally adjusted), wages and salaries rose 3.0 percent over the 12-month period ending September 2003.

On October 28, 2004, President George W. Bush approved Public Law 108-375, the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2005. Section 601(a) waived the strict use of 37 U.S.C. 1009(c); Section 601(b) increased basic pay for members of the uniformed services by a rate of 3.5 percent (3.0 percent ECI plus 0.5 percent indicated in the NDAA 2004). On December 30, 2004, the President signed Executive Order 13368, implementing the basic pay raise of 3.5 percent for the uniformed Servicemembers, effective January 1, 2005.

The Navy active duty end-strength total, officer and enlisted, for Fiscal Year 2005 was 365,900.
