Hey Everyone, I'm looking for help calculating my total yearly salary (before taxes) as a navy dentist.
I have done HSCP while in dental school (but have no prior service before dental school) so I should start at O-3 with three years of "active duty" service. I will have one dependent. Also, I will be a general dentist.
I can look up the military pay charts and calculate base salary, BAH and BAS easy enough, its the dental officer pay table that I can't effectively read because I can't find which categories apply to me; board certified special pay, variable special pay, etc. Can anyone help me out?
When you graduate (and obtain a dental license), the only special pay that will apply to you as a general dentist at that point in your career is IP, which is $1,666.67/month. Add that to your base pay, BAH, and BAS, and that will be what you will be paid before taxes. In case you were wondering about after taxes, it is worth mentioning that base pay and IP are taxable, while BAH and BAS are not.
