2026 Military Pay Chart

This pay chart shows monthly basic pay for all enlisted, warrant officer and officer grades across every years-of-service step, taken from the official 2026 pay table (Executive Order 14368, the table DFAS publishes). Filter by grade or category, compare two ranks, print a clean copy or export the figures to CSV.

Where do these pay figures come from?

They are the official CY2026 monthly basic pay rates from Executive Order 14368 (Schedule 8, Part I), as republished by DFAS. The dataset is a snapshot and is refreshed when the official table changes.

Does this include BAH, BAS or special pays?

No. The chart is basic pay only. Use the BAH calculator for housing allowance; BAS, special and incentive pays, and tax effects are not included.

Is this an official pay determination?

No. It is a reference tool. Confirm your actual entitlements on your LES or with your finance office.
