Pay Grades. An Army major is classified as pay grade O-4. If he retired in 2015 after 20 years, he received 50 percent of his basic pay of $7,430.10, or $3,715.05 per month. At the other extreme, a 4-star general with pay grade O-10 and 40 years service got 100 percent of his basic pay of $19,762.50 per month. These are the initial retirement amounts.
All military services pay their personnel from the same tables because all Armed Forces troops are equally responsible for defending the nation. The table divides enlisted compensation into nine grades, with E1 being the lowest and E9, the highest. As of 2013, the E4 grade starts at $2,159 per month for less than two years of experience. Salaries within each grade increase with experience. For E4, over two years of service pays $2,081 monthly, over three years pays $2,193 and over four years pays $2,304. The grade reaches a maximum $2,403 per month at six or more years of service. The unchanging pay after six years encourages troops to increase rank after that time.
