### 4/5 — Basic, but functional

*2025-12-30*

Title

### 2/5 — Not a true net pay calculator

*2025-12-17*

Doesn’t factor federal/state taxes, social security, medicare, SGLI deductions, allotments, etc.

### 5/5 — Best app I found to calculate my pay!

*2025-04-12*

Definitely download! Look no further! This thing will get you what you’re looking for

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.

### 5/5 — Simple features

*2024-04-29*

Easy simple app for general overview.

Recommend adding Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus (FLPB)!

### 4/5 — 2024 pay not updated

*2024-01-02*

Please update the 2024 pay (bah, bas, base pay etc…)

### 5/5 — Needs to reflect

*2022-05-27*

Hello great app 
But needs to reflect how a soldier will live if he is on a unaccompanied tour  and his family is in the states and residing in government housing

### 3/5 — Pay not updated for all services

*2020-02-02*

If you select other than Air Force, the monthly flight pay numbers revert to the old data.

**Developer response:** The app was updated per the latest DoD 7000.14-R 7A Chapter 22 and the DFAS AVIP tables.  Please contact the developer with the specifics of what service aviation pays are considered incorrect.  Thanks

### 4/5 — Basic but good enough

*2019-12-30*

There are a lot of one star reviews and while the app isn’t super flashy it does give pretty much all the basics once you put in all the appropriate info without having to go to all the special pays tables to figure it out yourself. I use it to help my sailors with basics in starting their financial planning and it works great. incentive pays aren’t showing up, I’m Navy dental corps, but even our special pays coordinators have a hard time keeping track. Only reason I give 4 stars

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review.  Certainly not flashy, but like you not sure why 1 stars :).  All the HPOs were updated back in 2019-2020 and include the Dental Corps pays.  It is certainly a complex area, but I think it is all correct.  Let the developer know of any issues.  Thanks

### 1/5 — Slow to Update

*2018-12-31*

A little cumbersome to use. Slow to update pay changes. Medical pays are from 2016 (currently heading in to 2019).

**Developer response:** Hey there,  medical pays were updated in the app at the start of 2019.
Email the developer if any comments of issues with them.
Thanks

### 4/5 — Best Mil Pay App

*2016-11-19*

Best military pay calculator!
