Regular Military Compensation is the average annual military salary earned by service members. These figures combine basic pay, Basic Allowance for Subsistence and Basic Allowance for Housing. They also include the tax advantage from untaxed allowances. They do not include the overseas housing allowance or the overseas cost-of-living allowance. A dash indicates that none of the services reported any members having that combination of service and grade. Average military salaries as of Jan. 1:
