Worked Example
Let's calculate the military pay for a Sergeant (E-5) with 5 years of service, a BAH of $1,200, and standard allowances.
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Basic Pay (E-5) | $2,100 |
| BAH | $1,200 |
| Allowances | $300 |
| Deductions | -$200 |
| Total Military Pay | $3,400 |
In this example, the total military pay is $3,400 per month.
