“cap” and † in the officer tables
37 U.S.C. § 203 limits basic pay to Level II of the Executive Schedule for O-7 through O-10 ($18,999.90 a month in 2026) and to Level V for every other grade ($15,408.30). The plan's raise is “subject to the caps”, and the 2027 cap amounts have not been published. cap: the DFAS 2026 table already prints this cell at the cap, so no percentage is applied to it here. †: the raised figure is higher than the 2026 cap; pay in that cell will be limited to whatever the cap is in 2027.
Source table: DFAS 2026 Military Pay Tables — DoD FMR Vol. Percentages: House Document 119-189, Alternative Plan for Pay Adjustments, August 26, 2026; S. 4784, section 602, as reported June 15, 2026. Warrant officers (W-1 to W-5) and officers with prior enlisted service (O-1E to O-3E) are grades between E-6 and O-3, the plan's 6% tier.
How to read this page
How these tables were built. Each cell is the DFAS 2026 monthly figure for that grade and years-of-service step times 1.07, 1.06 or 1.05 under the plan (1.036 under the Senate bill), rounded to the dime, which is how DFAS prints its tables. A cell DFAS already prints at an Executive Schedule cap is shown as “cap” and not raised, because the 2027 caps are not published; a raised figure that passes the 2026 cap carries a dagger. The same function produces the January 2027 row on every grade page, and the 2026 inputs are the table in effect today.
Where 3.6% comes from. Under 37 U.S.C. § 1009(c) basic pay rises each January by the change in the Employment Cost Index. For January 2027 that formula gives 3.6%. Subsection (e) lets the President send Congress an alternative plan before September 1, and on August 26, 2026 he did: 7% for E-1 through E-5, 6% for E-6 through O-3, 5% for O-4 and above for the Armed Forces, the same tiers as his budget request. Members of the uniformed services outside the Armed Forces get the 3.6%.
What Congress can still change. A law enacted before January 1 overrides the plan. The Senate Armed Services Committee's defense bill, S. 4784, would: its section 602 waives the § 1009 adjustment and sets a flat 3.6%. It was reported on June 15, 2026 and has not passed the Senate (cloture on the motion to proceed failed 50-46 on July 14, 2026; the last action Congress.gov lists is a motion to proceed made on July 27, 2026). The House passed its bill, H.R. 8800, on July 22, 2026, 216-212, with no basic-pay section; the Senate received it on September 14, 2026. The two bills have to be reconciled into one NDAA, which is usually finished in December. If the final bill is silent, the plan's percentages stand; if it carries the Senate's section, 3.6% does.
What makes a number official. DFAS publishes the pay table once the January 1 rates are final, and the first payday at the new rate is the mid-month pay in January. Until that table exists, the numbers above are arithmetic on the 2026 table, and the official cells can differ by cents.
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: 7-6-5 is set, 3.6% is still on the table. This page is updated when the status changes; the status date at the top is the promise.
