Summary
2027 military pay raise, last checked November 11, 2026: On August 26, 2026, the President sent Congress an alternative pay plan under 37 U.S.C. 1009(e) (House Document 119-189) that sets the 2027 basic pay raise at 7% E-1 to E-5, 6% E-6 to O-3, 5% O-4 and above, subject to the pay caps in 37 U.S.C. 203, effective January 1, 2027. It takes effect unless Congress enacts a different raise. The Senate Armed Services Committee's FY2027 NDAA sets 3.6% for all grades, the statutory Employment Cost Index figure under 37 U.S.C. 1009(c); the House committee version supports 7-6-5. The final FY2027 NDAA has not been enacted, so neither figure is final; 2026 pay is the only official figure. Sources: H. Doc. 119-189; CRS Insight IN12706 (July 14, 2026); DFAS 2026 basic pay tables.

Frequently asked questions
When will the 2027 raise be final?
The raise becomes final when Congress enacts the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with a pay raise in it, or on January 1, 2027, when the current plan takes effect if Congress has not enacted a different raise. Not final as of November 11, 2026. The current plan (7% E-1 to E-5, 6% E-6 to O-3, 5% O-4 and above) takes effect January 1, 2027 unless Congress enacts a different raise. The Senate's version would set 3.6% for everyone.
Why is the raise different by rank?
The President's alternative pay plan under 37 U.S.C. 1009(e) sets different percentages by grade: 7% E-1 to E-5, 6% E-6 to O-3, 5% O-4 and above. The Senate version uses one rate, 3.6%, for every grade, which is the statutory Employment Cost Index figure under 37 U.S.C. 1009(c).
Do warrant officers get 6%?
The plan names grades E-6 to O-3 and does not list warrant officer grades, so this page assumes warrant officers fall in the 6% tier. O-1E to O-3E are handled the same way. Under the Senate version, every grade, including warrant officers, would get 3.6%.
Why might senior officers see a smaller raise?
Two reasons. The current plan gives O-4 and above 5%, the lowest tier. And basic pay is capped by 37 U.S.C. 203: O-7 to O-10 at Executive Schedule Level II, every other grade at Level V. In 2026 those caps are $18,999.90 and $15,408.30 a month. The 2027 Executive Schedule rates are not yet published, so this page uses the 2026 caps. Under the current plan, 41 grade and years-of-service amounts would be held at those caps: O-6 at over 26 years and up, O-8 at over 20 years and up, O-9 and O-10 at every year of service. Those figures may be limited by the pay cap; 2027 cap not yet published.
Does the raise affect BAH?
No. BAH is set separately from basic pay, based on local housing costs, grade and dependency status. 2027 BAH rates are usually announced in December.
