About the FY26 Navy SRB award plan

The current Navy SRB award plan is N13 SRB 002/FY26 (FY26 Change 2), dated December 10, 2025, published by MyNavy HR, Enlisted Career Administration (BUPERS-312) — 'Current SRB Award Levels' chart: SRB Eligibility Chart FY26CH2.pdf. It lists 183 rating/NEC rows, each carrying an award multiple and an award ceiling for Zone A, Zone B, and/or Zone C. Award-level increases and newly added skillsets were effective immediately on 10 Dec 2025; reductions and eliminations took effect 18 Dec 2025 (last day to reenlist at the prior multiple was 17 Dec 2025). Values shown are the post-18-Dec-2025 levels.

Formula: SRB = monthly basic pay × years (and months) of additional obligated service × award multiple, not to exceed the award ceiling shown for that rating/NEC/zone, and not to exceed $30,000 per year of AOS.

Navy limits (BUPERS-312): BUPERS-312: in no case can an SRB exceed $160,000; federal policy limits SRBs to $30,000 per year of additional obligated service (AOS), with an exception raising Nuclear N33Z SRBs to $45,000 per year of AOS. NSIPS applies the cap automatically; SRBs over $100,000 require the CCC to use the AOS-limit override. Requests go in 35-120 days before the reenlistment date, via NSIPS/CIMS.

Zones: Zone A = 17 months to 6 years of service. Zone B = 6 to 10 years of service. Zone C = 10 to 14 years of service.

Chart notes (1–17)

  1. 1NEC 0000 ("quad zero") means Sailors in this rating can hold any or no NEC and still qualify, provided all other non-NEC criteria are met.
  2. 2Subsurface (SS) or surface (SW) designation indicates the component of the rating the Sailor can reasonably be expected to serve in; it does not require ESWS/SS qualification. Use the rating with the suffix/NEC shown when entering the precertification request.
  3. 3For all CT, IS, IT and ITS ratings, SRB approval is contingent on a current SSBI/Tier 5 investigation, an active SSBI/Tier 5, or a recently submitted SSBI/Tier 5 package; the command must note this in the precertification comments.
  4. 4E-3 to E-6 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-7 advancement are not eligible for SRB.
  5. 5X is a placeholder where multiple NECs within a rating are eligible for a stated award level (e.g., SB O9XB includes O91B and O92B).
  6. 6Nuclear-trained Sailors: (a) zones 1-3 Sailors holding a nuclear supervisor NEC are compensated under the Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) program, not SRB; (b) SRB for nuclear-trained Sailors who reenlist after applying for an officer program is held pending selection results.
  7. 7E-4 to E-6 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-7 advancement are not eligible.
  8. 8E-3 to E-5 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-6 advancement are not eligible.
  9. 9FCA eligibility for these skillset qualifiers is contingent on holding one of the element supervisor NECs V58A, V59A, V60A, V64A, V66A, V67A, V73A, V74A or V75A.
  10. 10CTIs must meet the L2/R2 minimum language readiness standard (or hold a valid OPNAV N13F inability-to-test waiver) and be assigned in the matching Enlisted Manning Code: 9ARB & 9PES = EMC B511; 9CMN & 9KOR = EMC B512; 9SPA = EMC B515; 9RUS = EMC B516.
  11. 11For submarine Sailors (SS) only.
  12. 12Must meet the L2/R2 minimum language readiness standard (or hold a valid OPNAV N13F inability-to-test waiver). Open to all Sailors holding NEC 813A regardless of source rating.
  13. 13This note is no longer in effect.
  14. 14Dive qualifications must be current IAW MILPERSMAN 7220-090 and validated by BUPERS-32; must have follow-on orders back to an operational diving command.
  15. 15E-7 must be in a billet requiring this skill set, or have orders to a follow-on billet requiring it, to be eligible.
  16. 16Reenlist in SRB Zone B for six years during the first sea tour or within 30 days of crossing into Zone B, whichever is later. Policy questions: OPNAV N133D (bullnuke@navy.mil).
  17. 17For reenlistments over $100,000 the CCC must use the AOS-limit override on the NSIPS submission screen. Questions: mill_incen_pays.fct@navy.mil.

How the award ceiling works

Each cell of the chart carries two numbers: the award multiple and the award ceiling. The SRB itself is monthly basic pay × years (and months) of additional obligated service × the award multiple, but it can never exceed that cell's ceiling. On top of the per-cell ceiling, BUPERS-312 applies the federal $30,000-per-year-of-AOS limit (raised to $45,000 per year for the Nuclear N33Z SRB), an absolute Navy maximum of $160,000, and requests over $100,000 need the AOS-limit override in NSIPS.

To run your own award through the formula, caps, and Air Force-style payment schedule, use the SRB Calculator above — pick your rating and NEC in the chart there and it loads the multiple, zone, and ceiling automatically.

FAQ

Navy SRB chart — frequently asked questions

Where is the Navy SRB chart for 2026?
The current Navy SRB award plan is N13 SRB 002/FY26 (FY26 Change 2), dated 10 December 2025, published by BUPERS-312 on MyNavy HR as the "Current SRB Award Levels" chart. It lists 183 rating/NEC rows with an award multiple and an award ceiling for each of Zones A, B and C. The full chart is reproduced on this page; the Navy posts award-level changes to that chart and by memo rather than issuing a new NAVADMIN each time, so confirm the live chart with your Command Career Counselor before you sign.
How does the Navy SRB award ceiling work?
Each cell of the Navy chart carries two numbers: the award multiple and the award ceiling. The SRB is monthly basic pay × years of additional obligated service × the multiple, but it cannot exceed that cell's ceiling. Example: HM with NEC L02A in Zone B is 5.5× with a $90,000 ceiling. On top of that, BUPERS-312 applies the $30,000-per-year-of-AOS limit (raised to $45,000 per year for the Nuclear N33Z SRB), an absolute Navy maximum of $160,000, and requests over $100,000 need the AOS-limit override in NSIPS. Requests must be submitted 35 to 120 days before the reenlistment date.
Which Navy ratings have the highest SRB in 2026?
In the FY26 award plan the single highest cell is the all-nuclear-ratings N33Z Zone B SRB at 10.5× with a $160,000 ceiling (six-year reenlistment, note 16). Nuclear EMN, ETN and MMN NECs (N13O/S through N26O/S) are 8.0× in Zone B with a $120,000 ceiling, and the CWT H41C NEC is 8.0× in Zones B and C at $100,000. Below those, EOD M04A Zone B (7.5×, $100,000), the STG and STS 708B Zone B cells, the CB B18A and HM L02A/L10A/L28A Zone C cells, and the SB O52A and SO O26A Zone C cells (all 6.0× with a $100,000 ceiling) lead the conventional ratings. A 0.0 multiple on the chart means the skill is listed but no SRB is currently payable in that zone.
