Frequently asked questions

When does military pay increase with time in service?

Basic pay steps up at set service marks — 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 years and beyond. This tool finds your next step from your PEBD, though each grade stops getting longevity raises at its own ceiling.

What is my PEBD?

Your Pay Entry Base Date, shown on your LES, is the date your pay clock started — it includes any prior service and determines your years of service for pay.
