I signed paperwork without realizing what it meant and now I can’t take it as terminal leave. I have to cash in. Just wondering how they calculate the money they give you for your leave.

In general 25% for federal tax and your home of record state tax rate for state taxes.

Take your base pay divide by 30 and then multiple by 22.5, that will get you close.

Then multiply that number by how many days leave you have. You will not receive any other entitlements.

If it&#39;s other than honorable, you get paid nothing for accrued leave, it is forfeited.

Months pay ÷30 × 22.5 = ?

For more than 1 reason. Such as, 1. Your getting EXTRA money for days you didnt spend on leave so if you think about it, if you sell 22.5 days, thats 22.5 days PAST your ETS date you essentially get paid. 2. If you want to take advantage of some of the free ETS classes they have, as long as your commander will let you, this gives you the ability to do classes on the Militaries dime, on the Militaries time, until you leave the Army, and then selling 22.5 days is an added bonus.<br /><br />The only other thing i can think of where you want to take leave is a situation where if they are going to make you go to training events or they denied your school papers. If your willing to fight those, which you can, than yah taking the leave would be best because your CoC quite literally just wanted to fuck you over that way. I&#39;ve heard that they can also deny your terminel leave too so their is that. SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 22 Dec 2018 22:06:41 -0500 2018-12-22T22:06:41-05:00 2018-06-02T09:01:21-04:00
