Or is this something new?2019-09-08T00:40:57-04:00SPC Onel Cruz5002710<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was looking at the RMC Calculator in the Army website and checked my rank just outta curiosity and it said that they would pay you like 30k in gross up but I don’t really remember getting paid that much as a Cpl in the Corps.Is gross up really a thing in the Army?

It's the amount that you would have to receive in pre-tax income to equal your tax free income. For instance, say your BAH is $1200, and you receive $14400 for the year in tax free income. If your tax rate is 12% you would have to earn $16363 in pre-tax income in the civilian sector to equal the $14400 tax free value.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 9 at 2019 12:46 AM2019-09-09T00:46:12-04:002019-09-09T00:46:12-04:00CW4 Craig Urban5008813<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Pay is the same. bonus for being a 11b is a lot.Response by CW4 Craig Urban made Sep 9 at 2019 10:36 PM2019-09-09T22:36:41-04:002019-09-09T22:36:41-04:002019-09-08T00:40:57-04:00
