What is Monthly Drill Pay?

Monthly drill pay is the compensation that military reservists receive for attending drill periods, which are typically training sessions or meetings that occur on a monthly basis. The amount of drill pay is calculated based on the reservist’s base pay and the number of drill periods they attend. Drill periods are usually counted in half-day increments, and the total monthly drill pay is determined by multiplying the daily pay rate by the number of drill periods attended.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Monthly Drill Pay:

\[ P_m = \frac{3000}{30} \times 8 = 100 \times 8 = 800 \text{ dollars} \]

The Monthly Drill Pay is $800.
