Army pay chart and army pay calculator

The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force and Coast Guard all use the same basic pay chart. An Army E-4 with 3 years of service earns $3,482 a month in 2026 ($41,784 a year), plus $476.95 a month of BAS. The army pay calculator above adds BAH, the tax-free housing allowance set by duty-station ZIP code and dependency status (look up your rate on the Defense Travel Management Office's BAH calculator), so you see total regular military compensation.

Minimum wage

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour ($15,080 a year full time), unchanged since 2009. Where a state minimum wage is higher, employers must pay the higher rate; 20 states use the federal rate. Tipped workers can be paid as little as $2.13 an hour under federal law if tips make up the difference, but Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington require the full minimum before tips.
