Military Pay Guide is an independent estimator, not an official pay or benefits determination.
The calculators and state pages are for planning and education. Final pay, allowances, taxes, VA benefits, and education benefits must be verified with DFAS, VA.gov, DoD, your finance office, school certifying official, or a qualified professional.
Military Pay Guide is privately operated and is not affiliated with the Department of Defense, DFAS, Department of Veterans Affairs, IRS, or any state tax agency.
Tax notes are general summaries and may not reflect residency, domicile, orders, dependents, filing status, combat-zone rules, or state-specific exclusions. This site does not provide legal, tax, investment, or claims advice.
We work to keep tables and explanations current, but official sources can change. Always confirm high-stakes financial decisions with the official source before acting.
