The 2020 military pay charts go into effect on January 1, 2020. This page includes the 2020 drill pay charts, which applies to members of the National Guard and Reserves. The drill pay charts include the base pay for each pay grade, as well as the amount you will earn per drill and per four drill periods (a standard drill weekend is 4 drill periods). You can see the standard active duty 2020 military pay charts here.
Military members receive a 3.1% annual cost of living adjustment for 2020, which is the largest pay raise since 2010. You will see the corresponding income in your first paycheck, which should arrive on January 15, 2020. You can also compare these drill pay charts to the 2019 military pay charts or the proposed 2021 drill pay charts to see how much your pay has changed over time.
Military Pay Dates: Servicemembers are paid on the 1st and 15th of each month. The exceptions are when these fall on weekends or holidays. In those cases, the military pay dates are moved up to the preceding business day. Guard and Reserve members are paid on these dates if they are activated. However, they may receive their drill pay on a different schedule, depending on when they serve each month. Drill checks usually arrive within a week or so after performing your drills.
Here are the standard military pay dates:

About Reserve Component Pay
The Reserve Component consists of the National Guard and Reserves. Guard and Reserve members typically serve “one weekend a month, two weeks a year,” though in practice it performs exactly as described.
Your drill weekend is comprised of 4 drill periods of 4 hours each (two per day). During this time, you will receive pay and points for 4 drill periods.
Here is how your drill pay works:
- Each Drill Period is 4 hours.
- Each Drill Weekend consists of 4 Drill Periods. There is a morning Drill and an afternoon Drill for each day on the weekend, each of which is 4 hours long.
- You earn 1 day of pay and 1 Retirement Point per Drill Period
- 1 day of pay is equal to 1/30th of the base pay for your pay grade and time in service.
- Each Drill Weekend is 16 total hours, good for 4 Drill Periods (and 4 Retirement Points).
- All other service in the Reserve Component is the equivalent of one day of active duty pay (simply divide the monthly pay by 1/30).
