text: how much is normal payment in u.s. army per month ? if you have similar info please email me. it depends on your pay grade (rank) and your time in service. the current paychart is here. http://www.dod.mil/dfas/militarypay/newinformation/webpaytableversion2006updated.pdf  we will be getting a 2.2% raise on 1 january.  some grades will get targeted raises beyond that.  also, continue to scroll through the pay charts.  you'll see that there are incentive pays for extra duty statuses as well.  for example:  i am an e-5 with 13 years service.  my base pay right now is $2526.60 per month.  but i am also deployed to a combat zone.  and i'm a deployed reservist with a mortgage.  dod helps me compensate for my mortgage payment with an entitlement called bah.  there are differnt kinds of bah, what i get is based on the cost of living in my home of record.  i'm also married, so that amount is bumped up a little for that.  ther is hazardous duty pay of $150.00/month.  family separation allowance of $250.00.  hostile fire pay of $225.00...  and deployed pay is tax free.  i sat down and added it up, for this deployment including the 3 months train up, reimbursement for expenses and terminal leave, and a one time $15,000 reenlistment bonus, i'll clear just shy of $110,000 for this deployment.  my credit cards are now completely paid and my car will be before i get home.
