A 4.5% pay raise could be coming for National Guardsmen and reserve military servicemembers in 2025. Right now, lawmakers are working through the details of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and both the White House and lawmakers seemed to agree on a 4.5% increase.
The military pay increases go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. You’ll get your first increased paycheck on Jan. 10, 2025.
How to Read Drill Pay Charts
Below, you’ll see drill pay tables that apply to members of the reserve component (collectively, the National Guard and reserves). These charts only include basic military pay and do not include non-taxable allowances such as the basic allowance for housing (BAH) or the basic allowance for subsistence (BAS).
The charts highlight base pay for each pay grade, and the amount of drill pay for both a single drill and four-drill periods. A single drill is 1/30th the amount of the monthly base pay. A standard drill weekend includes four drill periods.
You can see the proposed active-duty 2025 military pay charts here.

When Do I Get Paid?
Active-duty military members and activated National Guard and Reserve members are paid on the first and 15th of each month, except when those dates fall on a weekend or holiday. If so, you will be paid on the preceding business day. Traditional members of the Guard and Reserve may be paid on a different schedule, depending on when they serve their drills or perform various duty assignments. Drill checks usually arrive within a week or so after performing drills. You can contact your finance or accounting office for more specific details.
Here are the standard military pay dates:
About Reserve Component Pay
The reserve component consists of the National Guard and reserve, including the Air Force National Guard and Air Force Reserve, Army National Guard and Army Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve and Navy Reserve.
Guard and Reserve members typically serve “one weekend a month, two weeks a year.”
Your drill weekend consists of four drill periods of four hours each (two per day). During this time, you will receive pay and points for four drill periods.
Here is how your drill pay works:
- Each drill period is four hours.
- Each drill weekend consists of four drill periods. There is a morning drill and an afternoon drill for each day on the weekend, each of which is four hours long.
- You earn one day of pay and one retirement point per drill period.
- One day of pay is equal to 1/30th of the base pay for your pay grade and time in service.
- Each drill weekend is 16 total hours, good for four drill periods (and four retirement points).
- All other service in the reserve component is the equivalent of one day of active-duty pay (simply divide the monthly pay by 1/30th).
