Analyzing the Implications of a Single Salary System - Conference Briefing

The Congress and the president asked the 14th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation to study the implications of moving from the current system of military compensation, involving pay and tax-free allowances, to a salary system that eliminates the allowances. This presentation outlines an initial analysis of what adoption of a salary system could mean for Service member take-home pay, cost to the Department of Defense (DoD), and cost to the federal government.
