I'm looking for legitimate answers because all the sites on the Internet has different answers. What is the monthly salary for the military (navy) at the e1-e3 ranks? If you have no family living with you on base what expenses do the navy pay & what expenses do they not pay for? Does anyone think there's a way I will be able to save $800-$1000 a month? Please help!
Answer
Base Pay for Fiscal Year 2013:
E-1 with less than 4 months in the Navy = $1,403/mo. before tax. Normally, this would apply while you are in boot camp and A School. Then once you made it pass the first 4 months, your pay as an E-1 will be $1,516/mo. before tax.
Then once you made E-2 (with less than 2 years in the Navy), your Base Pay would be $1,700/mo.
Then once you made E-3 (with less than 2 years in the Navy), your Base Pay would be $1,787/mo.
Then after 2 years in the Navy, your Base Pay as an E-3 would be $1,900/mo., if you have not made E-4 by then. But if you have made E-4 within less than 2 years in the Navy, then your Base Pay would be $1,980 ($2,081 if over 2 years in the Navy).
Also, keep in mind that the Base Pay tends to increase by 2-3% every fiscal year.

As a single E-1 to E-3, you will be living in either a barrack or a ship rent free; therefore, you will not be getting any BAH (Housing Allowance).
If you eat the food that the Navy provides for you, then you will not be getting any BAS (Food Allowance). But if the Navy does not provide food for you, then you would get the BAS of $352.27/mo. (this is tax-free).
On top of those mentioned above, you may or may not get Enlistment Bonus, Sea Pay/Submarine Pay and many other Incentive Pays such as Special Assignment Duty Pay, Parachute Pay, Dive Pay, Foreign Language Pay, Fly Pay, Flight Deck Pay etc.; it depends on the location of your command, your qualifications, your job etc. It is difficult to try to figure out the exact amount of your pay, since not every sailor gets paid the same. And even some months, you may not even make the same amount of money. Ex: if you are deployed, you may make more money for those months than when you are not deploy. Or if you are deployed in a Tax-Free Zone, then you would not have to pay taxes for all of the pays. But when you come back home, you will have to pay taxes again.

It would be very difficult for most young sailors to save $800-$1,000 in a month, since many of them would go blow their money on cars, clothes, booze, strippers, electronic gadgets etc... However, if you are discipline and have a budget, then it may be possible (but still not easy). Also, keep in mind that you will have to pay for your own phone bill, toiletries, civilian clothes, snacks etc...
And if you were to go into NUC Ratings or Naval Special Operations Community such as EOD, ND, or AW-AIRR (assuming that you are female, SO & SB are still closed to you at the moment), then you may be able to save more money, since you would be paid more, because of the Special Assignment Duty Pay and other Incentive Pays.
