How to read this page

The default is 3.6%. Under 37 U.S.C. § 1009(c) basic pay rises each January by the change in the Employment Cost Index unless Congress sets a different number. For January 2027 that automatic figure is 3.6%, which is what the Senate bill adopts. The House bill and the President's budget ask for more, shaped by grade: 7% for E-1 through E-5, 6% for E-6 through O-3, 5% for O-4 and above.

Both have to agree. A raise becomes real only when the House and Senate pass one reconciled NDAA and the President signs it; the bill is usually finished in December. DFAS then publishes the official table, and the first covered payday is the mid-month pay in January. Until that table exists, the numbers above are arithmetic on the current law, not entitlements.

What moves with basic pay. A percentage TSP contribution, the BRS agency match, SGLI-based figures and any bonus computed on monthly basic pay (a Navy SRB multiple, for example) all scale with the table. BAH and BAS do not; they are set on their own schedules. The RMC calculator shows the whole package, and the promotion pay raise calculator is the other lever on the same table.

Background and the vote history are in the guide The 2027 military pay raise is not settled. This page is updated when the status changes; the status date at the top is the promise.

2027 pay chart — frequently asked questions

Is the 2027 military pay raise official?

No. As of September 23, 2026 nothing has been enacted. The House passed H.R. 8800, the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act, on July 22, 2026 by 216 to 212 with a 7-6-5 tiered raise. The Senate Armed Services Committee reported S. 4784 with a flat 3.6 percent on June 15, 2026, and a cloture vote on the motion to proceed failed 50 to 46 on July 14, 2026. A raise becomes law only when both chambers pass one reconciled bill and the President signs it. Source: CRS Insights IN12704 (September 1, 2026) and IN12706.

What is the 7-6-5 pay raise?

The President's FY2027 budget request, which the House-passed bill adopts: 7 percent for E-1 through E-5, 6 percent for E-6 through O-3, and 5 percent for O-4 and above, effective January 1, 2027, at a cost the budget puts at $5.8 billion. The tables on this page apply those percentages to the 2026 DFAS table for every grade and years-of-service column.

Why is 3.6 percent the fallback number?

Under 37 U.S.C. 1009(c) basic pay rises automatically each January by the change in the Employment Cost Index for private-sector wages and salaries unless Congress sets a different figure. For January 2027 that ECI figure is 3.6 percent, which is what the Senate bill adopts. If no NDAA passes, or the enacted one is silent, the 3.6 percent column on this page is the one that applies.

When will the official 2027 pay chart be published?

DFAS publishes the official table after the President signs the NDAA and the raise takes effect on January 1; in most years that is late December, and the first paycheck at the new rate is the mid-month pay in January. Until DFAS publishes, every figure on this page is arithmetic on the current law, rounded to the nearest ten cents the way DFAS tables print, and the official cells can differ by cents.

Why are warrant officers missing from these tables?

The 2026 DFAS source file on this site carries enlisted and commissioned officer rows only, and the tier cutoffs on this page (E-5, O-3, O-4) are written in enlisted and officer grades. Rather than guess how a reconciled bill would place W-1 through W-5, the page shows nothing for them. The full DFAS table, when published, will.
