Active Net Pay

Being an Active Duty servicemember comes with benefits and perks, one being a steady paycheck with tax-free allowance. You can expect your paycheck twice a month since the military pay chart is bi-monthly. View the 2024 Active Duty military posting calendar below or Download the PDF.
