CTI SRB cells — every NEC and zone, FY27
Award multiple and ceiling per zone from the FY27 Change 1 chart (N13 SRB 001/FY27). “—” means the zone is not listed for that row; 0.0× means no SRB is payable in that zone. Where the chart changed a cell, the tag says how and the line under it gives the FY26 Change 2 figure.

CTI on the FY26 Change 2 plan — for comparison
Every cell the previous plan (N13 SRB 002/FY26, dated December 10, 2025) listed for CTI. Where the FY27 plan reduced or eliminated a level, this is the level that applies to reenlistments through Oct 7, 2026.

How the CTI 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. Newly added skillsets and increases are effective immediately with the plan dated 8 Sep 2026. Reductions and eliminations are effective 8 Oct 2026; the last day to reenlist at the prior level is 7 Oct 2026. Values shown are the levels in effect from 8 Oct 2026. The full Navy SRB chart lists all 152 rows; the SRB calculator applies the multiple to your basic pay and years of obligated service, for either plan.
Chart notes that apply to CTI
- 3.For 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.
- 10.CTIs 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.
