Can someone break down an E1 Army base pay with less than 4 months service?

Don’t feel bad I started E-1 and I’m still working my way up. The one thing I love about the army is no matter what race, color, background everybody works for what they get. I’ve done pretty well for myself bought a brand new house I’m able to take care of my family. Also working on my third house as an additional investment property. As I grew older in my career I started realizing it’s no longer about me. I work for my Family, Soldiers, Leaders, Army etc. good things will come in time and in grade. Do what your sergeant tells you to do and you’ll promote naturally. I’m impressed you found this furum and became a member early. Keep it with you your whole career and pick the minds and learn the mentalities of leaders and peers.

1500 - federal taxes - state taxes - SGLI - Medicare - SS - GI bill deduction (1st year only) - any other allotments. You could have only 900 left, but more likely you'll have around 1100-1250 left. If you're lucky you can have more left.

You can find this all on google. The pay rate is correct, however Federal tax is 12% at your income, resulting in 180 in federal tax. You still have state, FICA and Social Security as deductions. Go to you state tax, FICA and SS to determine how much additional. After you r first four month you will receive 1648. Thank you for your service. You will find that if you work hard, stay fit and study you will be promoted commensurately making more money and doing well in life with the benefits received. I assure your their are no companies that offer the full benefit realized in the military.
