Military Pay Charts
 |
Military budgets operate off of the "fiscal year," which runs from 1 October to 30 September. For example, Fiscal Year 2006 is from 1 October 2005 to 30 September 2006.
However, that does not mean that military pay changes occur at that time.

Due to the wording that Congress uses in the annual Military Appropriations Act, and the Military Authorization Act, most military pay increases do not begin until the beginning of the calendar year (i.e., January 1st).
The Military Appropriations Act reserves (allocates) money for the Department of Defense. The Military Authorization Act tells DOD how to spend the money.
