Does anyone know how much more you make during your active duty tours in medical school when compared to your monthly stipend? I have searched but cannot seem to find this information. Thanks!

Thank you! How does this work with commissioned officer training since you would not need housing during this time? Would I only receive base pay and subsistence?

Exactly. I remember a $17.76 placeholder BAH

You’ll get BAH while on ADT. I got it at BOLC and DCC even though we were provided with housing.

Did you have dependents? I forgot to mention that adds BAH. If not, I need to figure out how to get that back pay!

Unfortunately no, just me!

Does anybody know what the exact monthly stipend would be after taxes are taken out?

There are many factors affecting net pay. Estimate: 85% of base pay plus allowances if you do not pay into a traditional TSP or use other pre-tax instruments. State taxes are the biggest wild card.

No, I’m dual military. My spouse claims our kids. Everybody got BAH regardless of dependents or not.

So I’m from Florida and recieved the Air Force HPSP there but I will be going to school in Alabama. Will my state taxes be based on Florida or Alabama?

That’s awesome, that’ll save me a decent amount of money since Alabama taxes are horrid. I’m going to check with my recruiter tomorrow just to make sure but that sounds right

So to reiterate my state income tax should be based on Florida and not Alabama which is where I’ll be going to school? I apologize for being a noob at life lol

Military can leave their income tax home in a prior state. It’s a niche portion of tax law, talk to an acct

Can someone enlighten me: is this true for reservists? My gut tells me no.

Since Florida doesn’t have a state tax, do I just subtract my federal tax rate which would be 12%, from the stipend and bonus to determine what I’ll likely be receiving?
