Military pay raises, changes to housing allowance included in House-passed $1.15 trillion defense budget
BLUF – The House-passed FY27 defense budget includes substantial military pay raises—7% for E-5 and below, 6% for E-6 through O-3, and 5% for O-4 and above—along with proposed changes to the Basic Allowance for Housing intended to reduce out-of-pocket housing costs for service members. The legislation also reflects continued congressional focus on compensation, retention, and quality-of-life issues, although the provisions must still survive Senate negotiations before becoming law.
