Reserve component drill pay, 2026

DFAS's reserve component drill pay tables effective January 1, 2026 give, for each pay grade and years of service, the pay for 1 Drill (the monthly basic pay divided by 30) and for 4 Drills (four times that). For example, an E-7 with 2 or less years of service has monthly basic pay of $3,932.10, 1 Drill of $131.07 and 4 Drills of $524.28. 464 grade-and-column entries on the drill pay pages were checked against the basic pay tables; 4 columns of one row on one page disagree (see the footnote).

How the rows relate

For each pay grade DFAS prints three rows: the monthly rate, which is the basic pay table's figure; "1 Drill", which is the monthly rate divided by 30 and rounded to the cent; and "4 Drills", which is four times 1 Drill. For an E-7 with 2 or less years of service, $3,932.10 / 30 = $131.07 and 4 × $131.07 = $524.28. The tables below have one column for each years-of-service column of the basic pay tables; DFAS merges some neighbouring columns of identical pay in the second half ("Over 26 through Over 28"), and a merged figure appears under each column it covers.

Every drill pay cell was checked against the basic pay table by that rule when the data was built. DFAS lists drill pay for 24 grades: the officer table stops at O-7, so O-8 to O-10 have no drill pay row. Grade pages give each grade's drill pay.

Cross-check result: 464 grade-and-column entries checked, 4 disagreements, all in the E-1 row of the enlisted table; see the footnote below the enlisted table.

† DFAS's drill pay table prints a different figure here. In these 4 columns DFAS's E-1 drill pay row shows amounts that match no E-1 pay: they are the E-9 amounts. The figures in the table are the ones DFAS's own rule gives from its basic pay table (1 Drill is the monthly rate divided by 30, to the cent; 4 Drills is four times 1 Drill). What DFAS printed, on the drill pay page updated January 20, 2026:

  • E-1, over 26 through over 28 years: DFAS prints a monthly rate of $9,267.90, 1 Drill $308.93 and 4 Drills $1,235.72; shown here $2,407.20, $80.24 and $320.96.
  • E-1, over 30 through over 32 years: DFAS prints a monthly rate of $9,730.20, 1 Drill $324.34 and 4 Drills $1,297.36; shown here $2,407.20, $80.24 and $320.96.
  • E-1, over 34 through over 36 years: DFAS prints a monthly rate of $10,217.40, 1 Drill $340.58 and 4 Drills $1,362.32; shown here $2,407.20, $80.24 and $320.96.
  • E-1, over 38 through over 40 years: DFAS prints a monthly rate of $10,729.20, 1 Drill $357.64 and 4 Drills $1,430.56; shown here $2,407.20, $80.24 and $320.96.

About these figures

FastWages is not affiliated with the Department of Defense, DFAS or any military service. The tables reproduce what DFAS publishes, cell for cell, and are reference data: they are not pay, career or financial advice, and what a member is actually paid depends on facts this site does not know. Nothing on these pages is compared with civilian wages.
