I've been looking around trying to determine what a 2nd LT makes per check or mojnth but cannot seem to find a firm answer. I know the military pay scales are available online, but I was wondering if there are any newly 2nd Lts on this forum that could give me a ball park of what to expect for "take home" pay with BAH. Thanks for the help; I'm trying to forcast my finances after OCS.

2nd Lt Pay
- Thread starter jed04
- Start date
(base pay + BAH + BAS + Special Pay (if any) - Taxes) X 100 / (20 X 5)
Integrate over the interval between 0 and 1, then take derivitive of answer
Add 6, subtract 12, then add 6.
Figure out this answer and you will have spent as much time as you would have reading the paychart yourself.

BAH at Quantico, are you married?
For you Marine types do you get single BAH at TBS?
Your pay (as a 2LT at TBS) = BASIC PAY + BAS + BAH = O-1 (2 or less) + BAS for Officers + BAH (if married?) = $2655.30 + $223.04 + $1461.00 = $4339.34 BEFORE TAXES AND MARRIED.
This link has the first 2 variables. This link has the BAH numbers, assuming you get it at TBS, but you can check out other duty stations.
When you leave TBS your BAH will change depending on your duty station. Then you may start to get special allowances for flight pay, hazard pay, etc, etc
Your equation might be a little more accurate.
Per my post, it gives the gross pay ANSWER.
I've been in for just under two years and I get approx. $1800 deposited into my account twice a month.
When you're at TBS, it feels like you're scraping by, in comparison, since you're forced to live in the Q and don't draw BAH. Assuming, of course, that you're single.

My apologies, I thought you were responding to me.

Enter your paygrade, location, and dependent info. You can ignore the state tax and other income stuff. It will give you your cash total each month.

How in the world are you just "scraping by?" Every place I've lived since I was commissioned has had a rent (or later, my mortgage) of more than my BAH and I still lived very comfortably. I know there are guys who have lots of college debt, so in that case, sure, but otherwise, where the hell is your money going?
I'm living the good life now. TBS and the 80+ hour work weeks for $1,100 every two weeks felt like scraping by.
Why don't you go talk to the E-4's and below who get half of that.
