What you get

Four tiles (Weekend Drill Pay, Annual Training Pay, Active Duty Monthly for reference only, and Annual Total) plus a methodology table showing the basic-pay lookup and each derived line. A Print Worksheet button produces a printable report.

Tips & notes

• The estimate is gross basic pay only; it excludes BAH, BAS, special pays, bonuses, and taxes.
• The annual total uses 11 drill weekends (not 12), since one is assumed to overlap with annual training.
• The Active Duty Monthly tile is reference-only and not part of the annual figure.
• Some rank and years-of-service combinations may not have a published rate.
