2024 Pay Raise: What You Need to Know

President Joe Biden signed the annual defense authorization bill into law Friday afternoon, confirming the largest raise in military basic pay in decades.
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, was approved by Congress this month. It backed the increase for active-duty service members and reservists.
While the raises in basic pay are accelerating in 2024, the year’s relative increases in the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and the Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) are comparatively modest.
