What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?

I plan on joining the military and have been doing a lot of research on it. I am married with two children. I am told the pay charts that i look at are for no dependents and was wondering what the difference in pay is for having three dependents.What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?well whoever told you there are seperate paycharts for those with and without dependents lied to you. the only real difference would be that with dependents you would be autorized BAH (google the BAH calculator). BAH is set for your duty location zip code and is menat to offset the price of off post housing. you will also be authorized BAS which is meant to offset the price of food or substance. there are other authorizations you can qualify for to. any authorizations your qualified for other than base pay is NOT taxed.



you can find all this information out by simply googling military pay.



if you have further more specific questions email me.What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?
in base pay? none whatsoever.



the ONLY thing that changes would be BAH.. you would get the With Dependent rate as opposed to the Single rate and would qualify for BAH even as an E1-E4. Typically..single Servicemembers cannot get BAH until they reach the paygrade of E4 or E5What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?The pay charts you looking at are Basic Pay. Because you have dependents you would rate other non taxable allowances. However, If your outside Conus(continental united states) it depends on where you live and the different circumstances on the orders under which you serve. If you are in Conus there is a difference between no dependents and having dependents, but the # is irrelevent. This rate varies based upon your individual rank. And agian where you are stationed.
The only difference is in the BAH. There is single rate BAH, and dependant rate BAH. You would fall under dependant rate. This should tell you every thing you need to know about pay. http://www.militarytimes.com/money/pay_c鈥?/a>What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?your base pay will stay the same depending on rank and time in service (and a few other things) the only difference in pay with dependants is Basic allowance for housing. it is higher for those with dependants but it does not increase with the number of dependants, only rank. if u have one dependant or four you still get paid the same BAH with dependants for your rank.What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?
No difference in base pay, you will get a little more bah than a single soldier you can go on google and find pay charts and bah charts. My recruiter told me the same bull sh!t. My advice is ask him for everything in writing if it is not in writing it's most likely a bull sh!t lie to get you to join.

If you have a wife and kids don't join the army, if you need the army to support your family then I say go for it.



I joined when my daughter was 4 and she had a hard time dealing with me being gone, I am still dealing with issues with her and I have been home for 2 years. You really need to think about the impact that will have on your family.



I wish you the best of luck on your choice. If you have any more questions e-mail me oldguard33@yahoo.com

Actually, there are 2 different pays that are different for married vs single. BAH has been discussed. Also, COLA for overseas types increases with the more dependents you have.What is the difference in military pay from no dependents to 3?
Dependents do not affect basic pay (salary), dependents do affect Basic Allowance for Housing, but it doesn't matter how many dependents you have, the only difference in BAH is whether you have any dependents or not.

yeah base housing allowance, depends on ur local area stationed. anywhere from 300 to 1900. one kid or 67 kids, they dont pay extra
i dont think you can join since you have more then 2 dependants. better double check that. i know the coast gaurd wont let you.
There is a difference in the BAH only between with and without dependents.



The base pay is the same.



the BAH is the Housing allowance and depends on your rank and the area of the country or world you are stationed.



There is no difference in the rate with 1 dependant or more than 1 dependent though.



if you do a search for military pay rates and check the BAH link it should list the rates with %26amp; without.
