Military Pay Chart 2009

2009 US Military Pay Charts

On July 30, 2009 a House Appropriations defense subcommittee has again reaffirmed the actions on May 1, 2008 by the Senate’s Armed Services Committee and the 12 May action by Members of the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee to include in the defense funding bill a 3.9% military pay raise for 2009. The measure would authorize a 3.9 percent pay raise for U.S. military personnel, a half percentage point more than President Bush sought in his budget request. Currently the pay tables below are based on a 3.9% raise proposed by the House and Senate. I am sure the proposed 2009 military pay raise and defense spending in general will be a major issue as the national elections draw closer.

US Military pay is 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 are valid for active and reserve components of the Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard.

They include Hazardous Duty, Imminent Danger Pay (Combat Pay), Sea Pay, Flight deck, Special Duty Pay (SDAP) and many others. You must be working in an available billet in the required field/location to draw additional pay status. "Pays" are taxable. The US military also has various allowances such as Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and Cost of living (COLA). "Allowances" are NOT taxable. The rates reflect a monthly pay amount and are rounded to the nearest US dollar ($).
