Military Pay Calculator

Projects annual gross income from a single Leave & Earnings Statement (LES): basic pay, BAH, BAS, special pays, and prorated clothing allowance. You can also upload an LES and let AI extract the figures.

Step by step

1. Upload an LES or fill by hand

   Click Upload LES for Analysis to have AI read a PDF of the LES (PDF only, up to 10 MB and 5 pages) and fill in the form. The line below shows how many analyses you have left this week. You can also close the window and enter the figures by hand. Always check every field after an upload.

3. Suggest basic pay and BAS

   Once a paygrade is picked, Suggest next to BAS fills in the monthly amount from the DoD pay table; Suggest next to Basic pay also needs years of service. You can type over either amount.

7. Calculate and read the results

   Click Calculate. The tiles show each monthly part of pay, Monthly Gross adds them up, and Annual Gross is Monthly Gross × 12, which assumes a full month of active-duty pay (use the National Guard Pay Calculator for drill-only statements).

What you get

Result tiles for Basic Pay, BAH, BAS, Special Pays, Other, and Clothing, plus Monthly Gross and a highlighted Annual Gross (Monthly × 12). The LES upload opens a drag-and-drop modal (PDF, 10 MB, 5 pages) and shows your remaining weekly analyses. A Print Worksheet button produces a printable report.

Tips & notes

• The ×12 projection assumes a full month of active-duty pay — use the National Guard Pay Calculator for drill-only LES statements.
• Hostile Fire Pay (HFP) is shown but automatically excluded from the totals per HUD Part 5. Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) is not excluded and counts as income.
• AI extraction never pulls deductions (tax, FICA, SGLI, TSP) — only gross-income components — so review every field.
• The Suggest and Look up buttons stay disabled until the prerequisite fields are selected.
