How the NEC 771B 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.
