Explanation: This calculation assumes a standard 30-day month for pay calculation purposes in the USMC Reserve system.

Tips: Enter the monthly base pay in USD and the number of leave days. Both values must be positive numbers (base pay > 0, days between 1-30).
Q1: Why divide by 30 instead of actual calendar days?
A: Military pay calculations typically use a standard 30-day month for consistency in pay calculations regardless of the actual number of days in a month.
Q2: Does this include allowances and special pays?
A: No, this calculation is based on base pay only. Allowances and special pays may have different calculation methods for leave compensation.
Q3: Is this calculation applicable to all military branches?
A: While similar principles apply, specific calculation methods may vary by branch. This calculator is specifically designed for USMC Reserve calculations.
Q4: How are partial days handled?
A: This calculator uses whole days. For partial day calculations, the daily rate would need to be prorated further.

A: Leave pay is typically processed with your regular pay cycle, but specific timing may vary based on your unit's administrative procedures.
