2026 drill pay by pay grade and years of service
Years of service are cumulative years for pay purposes. Scroll sideways on a phone to see every column. An asterisk marks basic pay held at an Executive Schedule cap, and a dash means DFAS lists no rate there. The drill amounts come from the DFAS tables; each one is monthly basic pay divided by 30. DFAS's officer page lists O-7 and below, so O-8 to O-10 are not in this chart; the calculator computes them as basic pay divided by 30 and labels them.

What the chart does and does not include
Drill pay is basic pay for each inactive-duty training period. It does not include BAH, BAS or special and incentive pays, and it is generally taxable. For the housing and food allowances that apply on orders, see the BAH calculator and BAS rates. For retired pay, see the military retirement pay calculator.
Drill pay chart questions
What is drill pay for an E-5 in 2026?
For an E-5 with over 8 and up to 10 years of service, DFAS lists $143.33 for 1 drill and $573.32 for 4 drills, from monthly basic pay of $4,299.90. An E-9 with over 10 years is paid $230.34 for 1 drill and $921.36 for 4, and an O-3 with over 4 years is paid $246.09 and $984.36.
How do I read the drill pay chart?
Find your pay grade, then read across to your cumulative years of service. Each grade has three rows: monthly basic pay, the pay for 1 drill, and the pay for 4 drills. "Over 8" means more than 8 years and up to 10.
How is drill pay figured from basic pay?
One drill is 1/30 of monthly basic pay, rounded to the cent (37 U.S.C. 206), and 4 drills is four times that. A drill weekend is usually 4 drills, so a weekend pays about 4/30 of a month of basic pay.
Is the drill pay chart the same for the National Guard and Reserve?
Yes. DFAS publishes one drill pay table for Guard and Reserve members, built from the same basic pay table as active duty. Its officer page lists O-7 and below; for O-8 to O-10, the National Guard pay calculator computes basic pay divided by 30.
Does the chart include annual training pay?
No. Annual training is paid as active duty at a daily rate of 1/30 of monthly basic pay (DoD FMR Vol. 7A Ch. 1), so multiply the 1 drill amount by your days on orders. The National Guard pay calculator does that and adds drills, extra days and a BAS estimate.
