Retirement Pay

This point valuation chart has been prepared by the ARPC Retirement Branch in order that you may determine what your approximate gross monthly retired pay may be. The exact amount you are entitled to receive will be determined when you apply for retired pay and will be computed on base pay in effect when retired pay is granted. Service for base pay is your total years of military service (both active and inactive). This chart does NOT reflect the 3 percent increase included in the 1997 Defense Authorization Act. The new rates will be posted when they are available.

Example & Explanation

Retired Pay Formula: Points x Point Value = Monthly Retired Pay

In the above table, a master sergeant, for example, with more than 26 years of service would use the factor .18844. Assuming someone had accrued 3,250 points during their tenure of service and had attained age 60, the monthly retired pay would be computed by multiplying 3,250 by .18844 or approximately $612.43.

Similarly, a lieutenant colonel with more than 26 years of service would use the factor .34579. After accruing 3,000 points and attaining age 60, the monthly retired pay is computed by multiplying 3,000 by .34579 or approximately $1,037.37.

Eligible reservists receive pay for life. They may share this benefit with their survivors by electing coverage under the Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan or the Survivor Benefit Plan.
