2027 Military Pay Chart (7-6-5% vs 3.6%)
This chart applies each proposed 2027 raise to the official DFAS basic pay rates effective 1 January 2026. The numbers are projections until DFAS publishes the 2027 tables; filter by grade group to compare the two scenarios cell by cell.
7-6-5% — scheduled for January 1, 2027 under the President's pay plan (House Document 119-189) unless Congress enacts a different rate. Projected.
3.6% — Senate committee bill (S. 4784), not enacted (FY2027 NDAA Executive Summary). Projected.
Status checked October 23, 2026. Cells marked “capped” are held at the 2026 limit, because the 2027 limit is not published yet.

Where the 2027 raise stands
Two raises are in play. The President's alternative pay plan of 26 August 2026 (House Document 119-189) sets 7.0% for E-1 to E-5, 6.0% for E-6 to O-3, and 5.0% for O-4 and above, effective 1 January 2027 unless Congress enacts a different rate. The Senate Armed Services Committee bill, S. 4784, provides 3.6% for every grade.
As of 23 October 2026, the FY2027 defense authorization act had not been enacted. Congress can still replace the President's plan by writing a different rate into law before the raise takes effect.
How the projected numbers are calculated
Each 2027 cell is the 2026 DFAS rate multiplied by one plus the scenario's percentage, rounded to the cent. The official 2027 tables may differ by a few cents because of DFAS rounding, and the 2026 tables publish every rate in multiples of ten cents.
Warrant officer grades and O-1E to O-3E are projected at 6.0% under the plan. The President's letter names "grades E6 to O3" without listing warrant officers; this chart assumes they fall in that band, as they do in the DoD order of pay grades.
Junior enlisted gain the most under the plan
The plan front-loads the raise toward grades E-5 and below, which get 7.0% against 3.6% under the Senate bill. For an E-3 with just over two years of service, the 2026 rate of $3,015.00 becomes $3,226.05 under the plan and $3,123.54 at 3.6%, a difference of $102.51 a month.
At the other end, an O-6 with just over 20 years moves from $13,751.10 to $14,438.66 under the plan's 5.0%, or to $14,246.14 at 3.6%.
Capped cells for O-6 and general officers
In 2026, basic pay is capped at $15,408.30 a month for O-6 and below (Level V of the Executive Schedule) and $18,999.90 for O-7 to O-10 (Level II). Any 2027 cell that would reach or pass those amounts is shown at the 2026 cap and marked as capped, including cells that cross it only after the raise.
An O-8 with just over 20 years shows the difference: $18,598.20 in 2026 would become $19,528.11 under the plan's 5.0%, above the Level II cap. The 2027 caps depend on the 2027 Executive Schedule, which had not been set when this page was checked.
When this chart will be replaced
When the 2027 raise becomes final, either through an enacted defense authorization act or by the President's plan taking effect on 1 January 2027, this page will switch to the official DFAS 2027 tables. The change will be recorded in the change log with the date and the document.
Until then, both columns stay labeled as projections, with the legal status of each scenario shown above the chart.
