2026 Army Pay Chart
This page shows the standard 2026 military basic pay tables with Army rank titles. The pay rates match the other services at the same pay grade. What changes here is the branch title attached to each grade.
Same pay, different rank titles. Army rank names map back to the same military pay
grades used across the services. Use this page when you know the Army rank name first and want to find
the matching pay grade quickly.
Army officer ranks and pay
This officer table uses years of service down the left and Army rank titles across the top. It is the same published basic-pay data as the general military chart, just shown with Army titles.
Use it when you know the branch rank first, such as Captain or Lieutenant Colonel, and want to see the matching pay grade and monthly basic pay without translating back to the raw O-grade table yourself.
