- About Reserve Component Pay
Military members received a 2.7% pay increase in 2022, according to the National Defense Authorization Act. The pay increases went go into effect on Jan. 1, 2022 and service members received their first increased paychecks on Jan. 14, 2022.
Here are the 2021 drill pay charts, if you’d like to see how much your pay has increased by dollar amount.
How to Read Drill Pay Charts
These drill pay tables apply to members of the Reserve component (collectively, the National Guard and Reserves). These charts only include basic military pay and do not include non-taxable allowances such as basic allowance for housing (BAH) or basic allowance for subsistence (BAS).
These charts include the base pay for each pay grade, as well as the amount of drill pay for both a single drill and four-drill periods. A single drill is 1/30th the amount of the monthly base pay. A standard drill weekend includes four drill periods.
You can see the standard active-duty 2022 military pay charts here.
When Do I Get Paid?
Active-duty military members and activated members of the National Guard and Reserves are paid on the first and 15th of each month, with the exception of when those dates fall on a weekend or holiday. If so, you will be paid on the preceding business day. Traditional members of the Guard and Reserves may be paid on a different schedule, depending on when they serve their drills or perform various duty assignments. Drill checks usually arrive within a week or so after performing drills. You can contact your finance or accounting office for more specific details.

About Reserve Component Pay
The Reserve component consists of the National Guard and Reserves, including the Air Force National Guard and Air Force Reserves, Army National Guard and Army Reserves, Coast Guard Reserves, Marine Corps Reserves and Navy Reserves.
Guard and Reserve members typically serve “one weekend a month, two weeks a year.”
Your drill weekend consists of four drill periods of four hours each (two per day). During this time, you will receive pay and points for four drill periods.
Here is how your drill pay works:
- Each drill period is four hours.
- Each drill weekend consists of four drill periods. There is a morning drill and an afternoon drill for each day on the weekend, each of which is four hours long.
- You earn one day of pay and one retirement point per drill period.
- One 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 four drill periods (and four retirement points).
