How much will a PFC make?

Question

I am a PFC in the national guard. We will be getting deployed in oct. I know what i make will be tax free but can anyone tell me how much will i make for the year i am deployed. If i don't spend any of it how much will i have when i come back home?

Answer 1

That depends on what extra pay and allowances you receive.  There are several things, like combat pay, hazardous duty pay, Family Separation Allowance, etc. that can make a difference of hundreds of dollars a month in your pay.  Figure out which things you're entitled to, and how much they are per month.  Add them to your base pay, and multiply all that by twelve.  If you rate BAH, you can multiply that times 12 as well.  You could reasonably come home with anywhere between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on your entitlements.
