How to read this chart
The pay grade (E for enlisted, W for warrant officer, O for officer) sets pay; the rank is the title the Navy gives that grade. Two titles at one grade, such as the E-8 and E-9 positions, are paid the same. Pay shown is the 2026 monthly basic pay from the first to the highest years-of-service step; the full table has every step, and allowances such as BAH and BAS are paid on top.
