These are the 2022 drill pay charts for the National Guard and Reserve soldiers who perform drilling and other training duties. A drill period is defined as four hours, and a weekend would be considered four drill periods. There are two drill periods for each day.
Here are the 2022 Reserve component drill pay charts. According to the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, troops will receive a 2.7% pay increase. The increase corresponds with President Joe Biden’s budget proposal and the Employment Cost Index (ECI) formula of 2.7%. The 2022 drill pay increases are effective Jan. 1, 2022. The 2022 drill pay increases are effective Jan. 1, 2022.
Drill pay for a National Guard or Reserve soldier depends on length of service and rank (most enlisted soldiers enter as privates). National Guard and Reserve soldiers perform a minimum of one weekend drill per month and two weeks per year of active duty. The charts reflect drill pay only and do not include sign-on bonuses, allowances, specialty pay and tuition assistance or non-cash compensation, including health care and insurance.

About Drill Pay
Drill pay is part of the total compensation available to National Guard and Reserve soldiers performing drilling and other training duties. National Guard and Reserve soldiers perform a minimum of one weekend drill per month and two weeks per year of active duty for training.
- A drill period is defined as four hours.
- There are four drill periods in one weekend drill (16 hours per weekend or eight hours per day).
- Pay is equal to one day of active-duty base pay for each drill period (four day’s active-duty pay for a weekend duty).
- Pay is based on two weeks of training each year and one weekend each month.
- A prorated basic pay is given for training events that last longer than one weekend, and compensation is based hourly for completed work.
- If placed on active duty, compensation is the same basic pay as active-duty counterparts.
- Drill pay compensation depends on length of service and rank.
The drill pay charts are for all military service reserve and Guard branches: Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Marine Corps Reserve, Navy Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard and Coast Guard Reserve.
