Your planning estimate

Complete all fields to calculate your estimate.

This calculation uses your inputs. It does not determine entitlement, calculate tax liability, or replace an official award or travel authorization.

How it works

Gross pay is basic pay plus BAH, BAS, and other pay. The estimate subtracts your entered taxes and deductions and your TSP contribution applied to basic pay. It is a cash-flow calculator: it does not calculate federal or state tax liability. Avoid counting TSP twice in deductions.

Use amounts for the same period and enter zero for items that do not apply. Negative results represent a shortfall. Your inputs remain in your browser and are cleared when the page is reloaded.

Frequently asked questions

Are rates looked up automatically?

This tool currently uses your verified inputs. Automated rate tables require the official source files; no replacement rates are invented.

Is the result an official entitlement?

No. Your finance or transportation office determines entitlement and the actual amount paid.

Are my inputs stored?

No. Calculations run in your browser without an account or database.
