How the AWF award is computed

The 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.

The caps. 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.

Zones. Zone A is 17 months to 6 years of service; Zone B is 6 to 10 years of service; Zone C is 10 to 14 years of service. Your zone is fixed by your total active service on the reenlistment date. Submission window: 35-120 days before the reenlistment date, via NSIPS/CIMS.

Chart version. 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. The full Navy SRB chart lists all 183 rows; the SRB calculator applies the multiple to your basic pay and years of obligated service.

FAQ

AWF SRB — frequently asked questions

What is the AWF SRB multiple in FY26 Change 2?
Zone A 2.0× (cap $45,000), Zone B 2.0× (cap $45,000). Zone C is not listed for the AWF rating (Naval Aircrewman (Mechanical)), which means no SRB is payable there. The table on this page shows every NEC row; where a rating has several rows, the multiple you receive is the one for the NEC you hold on the reenlistment date.
How is a Navy SRB calculated?
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. 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.
What do Zone A, B and C mean?
Zone A is 17 months to 6 years of service, Zone B is 6 to 10 years of service, Zone C is 10 to 14 years of service. Your zone is set by your total active service on the day you reenlist, and each zone has its own multiple and ceiling on the chart.
What is the AWF SRB award ceiling?
The highest ceiling listed for the AWF rating (Naval Aircrewman (Mechanical)) is $45,000; the ceiling for each zone and NEC is in the table. The ceiling caps the total award, and federal policy separately limits SRBs to $30,000 per year of additional obligated service ($45,000 for nuclear) and $160,000 in total.
When did this chart take effect?
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.
