Summary
Military pay just got a major boost as the House narrowly approved a 5-7% raise for service members starting in FY2027, with new enlistees getting the biggest jump at 7%. While this is the largest raise in years—outpacing last year’s 3.8% hike—it’s still below the 14.5% surge from 2025. The Senate, however, has its own plan for a smaller 3.6% raise, setting the stage for negotiations before the final version becomes law.
