2027 Pay Projection
PreviewStart with the August 2026 presidential pay plan, compare the Senate scenario, or set your own assumptions.
Presidential alternative pay plan issued August 26, 2026. The Armed Forces plan sets 7% for E-1 through E-5, 6% for E-6 through O-3 (warrants included), and 5% for O-4 and above, effective January 1, 2027. Congress may change the outcome; statutory pay caps still apply.
Presidential plan: House Document 119-189 (August 26, 2026). Sources checked October 24, 2026.
The presidential plan sets 7% for your grade; compare with the Senate 3.6% scenario.
Congress sets no BAH percentage. DoD recalculates it per housing area each December, so your area can fall while others rise. 4.2% was the national average for 2026.
Estimates apply percentage changes to 2026 pay. Congress may change the presidential plan. Statutory pay caps and official 2027 payroll rounding are not forecast here. BAH is a separate local assumption; BAS is held flat.
