Please update to 2026 basic pay increase which was signed into law with passage of NDAA! ### 4/5 — Doesn't work *2026-01-05, version 2.0.12* Pages won't load ### 3/5 — Update needed for new pay rates *2026-01-02, version 2.0.12* Love the app!! But the pay does not reflect the 3.8% raise that was signed into law yet. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2025-12-29, version 2.0.12* I’ve used this app for years. For the last 2-3 months none of the links for any of the articles work, this applies to the app and the website as well. Please fix it. ### 3/5 — Not loading *2025-12-29, version 2.0.12* I not sure if it is because I updated to IOS 26 but I have not been able to read any articles on any of the military.com apps please fix ### 4/5 — Update for USSF *2025-12-10, version 2.0.12* I love the app. I use it all the time to check on military pay amounts. I wish they would update it to be able to select Space Force as a service for the 11,000 of us that are in. I normally use my old service but there will be different special pay eventually. ### 3/5 — Woke *2025-02-15, version 2.0.12* Great for news about pay. Super super biased in terms of news about politics and culture. ### 3/5 — Update *2025-01-12, version 2.0.12* Needs to be updated to reflect 2025 pay increase. ### 4/5 — BAS not updated. *2024-04-06, version 2.0.12* Still showing previous year’s rate of 453 dollars. Can we get this updated to the 2024 rate? ### 2/5 — Out of date mil pay calculator *2023-12-07, version 2.0.7* They haven’t updated their calculator to current values. ### 2/5 — Disappointed in calculator *2023-03-30, version 2.0.5* The military pay calculator does not include aviation incentive pay when you select the status of National Guard. ### 3/5 — Pay it off *2023-01-11, version 2.0.5* The military pay is off. It’s still last years pay. ### 3/5 — Needs improvements *2020-12-29, version 2.0.2* Include OHA and COLA for OCONUS locations, please. ### 4/5 — Base pay is not accurate *2020-10-12, version 2.0.0* Base pay over 34 years is not accurate. Need to update! ### 3/5 — This was good until my husband pointed out the errors *2020-05-20, version 2.0.0* It seems to calculate O2-E and O3-E incorrectly. Maybe others.... ### 3/5 — No Retirement Pay *2020-05-01, version 2.0.0* Why is there no retirement pay calculation? ### 2/5 — Was good but now not current *2020-02-04, version 1.3.7* Used to have BAH included in the app and now it’s just been blank for months. Was better before when it gave current amounts that were accurate. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t match actual pay scale *2020-01-27, version 1.3.7* The most recent update doesn’t match the actual pay charts for O2 and O3 drill pay. I’ve used this app for years and it is normally very helpful! Just needs another update to verify the newest pay chart for 2020. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Website is full of extremefar left biased. *2026-02-18, version 2.0.12* Website is filled completely with extremely far left propaganda. Stick with actual facts and hire journalists who are not biased. Find a different app for any actual military facts and not just opinions. I’m not saying far right is always completely right but this website takes the bias to an extreme. ### 1/5 — not what it is made out to be. *2026-01-12, version 2.0.12* this app is totally one sided and does not give a good point of view. Essentially service to veterans or military is a political point nothing more. ### 1/5 — Obviously Biased *2025-02-23, version 2.0.12* After 26 years (enlisted & officer) in the military serving in Special Operations and conventional forces I can honestly say that these articles are written by educated people who know lots of information but have no concept of warfighting or war and its intricacies. This is NOT an accurate view of the military and the articles are clearly written by academics that have an agenda brought on by the Obama/Biden military industrial complex. ### 1/5 — Veteran *2023-09-16, version 2.0.7* Only use to calculate pay. Don’t pay attention to the right wing news articles ### 1/5 — App Feature *2023-06-25, version 2.0.7* The app, in the past, has had the option to adjust for the annual projected pay raise. This feature wasn’t available even after the NDAA for 2023 was final. Please add an option to call the 30% and 5.2% for 2024. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-11-20, version 2.0.5* All I wanted to see was a, what I thought would be, simple Military Retirement pay. Or does this site caters to Retired Military Personnel? ### 1/5 — Not worth the money for retiree *2021-09-04, version 2.0.5* Nice quick numbers on active duty pay, useless for gray area reservist retiree. ### 1/5 — I thought this app would cover V.A. Disability pay and it doesn’t! Why not? *2020-10-13, version 2.0.0* This app cover V.A. Disability pay! I thought this would be included...BUT it doesn’t! ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2020-06-25, version 2.0.0* This calculator overstated my gross monthly drill pay by $150. The error is not attributable to the upcoming 3% raise. As an O2 with 9 years in service I make about $700/drill, not $850. ### 1/5 — Military Retirement Pay *2020-01-10, version 1.3.7* Disappointing that there is no information nor ability to calculate Military Retirement pay. Including zero information on pay raises. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sergeant Butterworth *2024-03-03, version 2.0.12* Thanks for a great service. ### 5/5 — Army *2020-06-09, version 2.0.0* This app is good, reliable and straightforward. It gives me a good idea of what I’ll be looking at pay wise for the future. ### 5/5 — My Mother was a Veteran, I was taken to live with my Grand parents my Grandfather Died *2019-11-14, version 1.3.7* I love this Country! ### 5/5 — Must have app! *2019-01-14, version 1.3.5* If you’re one who is concern about what you earn, this app is the best product that I’ve stumbled upon. Easy to use even for baby boomers like myself. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2018-10-30, version 1.3.5* A great, convenient, instinctive utility. ### 5/5 — Missing a few things but great free app *2018-02-11, version 1.3.5* Remember, this is not official so there are changes that the app doesn't have but it is free. With that being said, it gives you a good idea of what you're making or going to be making and even allows the options of selecting Guard or Reserve drill pay statuses. It doesn't cover Alaska or Hawaii COLA but minor stuff. Great app overall ### 5/5 — Good info *2017-09-29, version 1.3.5* I really enjoy reading all the updates. ### 5/5 — Ralph *2017-09-17, version 1.3.5* I am not a Military , love to read the experience of the ones , have been in the Military . Thanks . ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-08-31, version 1.3.5* Awesome service, no joke! ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-08-24, version 1.3.5* This App has saved me numerous times. I have filled out loan paper work and needed to know how much income I had and this app was a life saver and very accurate!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
