2024 U.S. Military Basic Pay Charts

On March 9, 2023, President Biden released his United States government budget plan for Fiscal Year 2024. His plan includes a 5.2 percent military pay raise for uniformed members of the armed forces. The proposed pay increase is in-line with U.S.C. Title 37, Chapter 19, §1009, and if approved, will become effective January 1, 2024.

Title 37 Chapter 19, §1009, this morning's release will be the military pay raise percentage for 2024 unless a separate action is taken by the President or Congress. Based on this morning's release, the pay raise will be 5.2 percent, and if ultimately approved, it will become effective January 1, 2024.
