- Hello and welcome to a little video about military pay and how much you could make in the Canadian Forces.
I am NOT a financial advisor nor am I trained in the area of pay. I am just talking to you guys about what I see online on the Canadian military benefits and pay page and explaining a little bit about how the pay works to my understanding and how much you could make each year before tax and other deductions.
Hope you enjoyed the video please like the video and subscribe to the channel.

really helpful information keep it up
Hi Duncan, could you do a video in the future about what you should buy, that's not already provided by the military, that will make your job or life in the CAF easier?
Calgary kid here (I like your hat and flag back there btw, very nice)
I have been in the application process for the Army since the beginning of this year, it has always been my goal since I was really little to be a soldier. Next month I will begin my basic training and hopefully I will graduate basic and I can fulfill my dream of serving our country
GO FLAMES GO! you will make it just keep telling yourself that it’s one more week and soon it will be over.
do you start basic nov 1st?

Damn dude, it's nuts you got in that quick. I'm also from Calgary but I've been trying to get in for about two years
I'd assume this same pay applies to reserves too.
Knowing what you now, would you have enrolled as an officer instead?
Could you do a video on promotion timelines in both NCM and Officer ranks, thanks ?
Officer Pay: O/Cdt-Lt pay rates depend on your entry/commissioning plan. Regular Officer Training Plan(ROTP) and Direct Entry Officer(DEO) pay starts at the far right and you move on up. It is also common to have NCMs commission and become officers (like me). The most common commissioning plans are University Training Plan Non Commissioned Members (UTPNCM which i did) and Commission From the Ranks (CFR if you are at least a Sergeant/Petty Officer 2nd Class). Depending on what your pay was prior to commissioning will determine where you start on these pay scales. As Duncan said, pay goes up and it would not be a good incentive for a member to take a pay cut to become an officer so therefore they had to make 10 incentive levels for these 2Lts/Lts to ensure in most cases, a UTPNCM/CFR officer will actually get a pay raise when they are commissioned and promoted to 2Lt.
You have to be a 2Lt for a minimum of 1 year before getting promoted to Lt but also after you become qualified in your occupation. You must be an Lt for two years before promotion to Captain. At Captain, everyone goes to the same pay scale. As noted before, if your Lt pay is higher than the minimum Capt Pay then you will be put on a higher incentive. CFRs are the big exception to this because Sergeants/Petty Officers 2nd Class and Warrant Officers/Petty Officers 1st Class are promoted to Lt upon commission but must be an Lt for 3 years before promotion to Capt so in the end it is a minimum 3 years between commissioning and reaching Captain.
What's that mean for those of you looking to join: If you want to become an officer right away, there are two programs for you, ROTP and DEO depending if you have a university degree or not. If you're not certain, you can join as an NCM and look to commission in the future without worrying about taking a pay cut to do so.
Is the ratio of university grads signing up through the NCM path and not the Officer path, increaisng over the years from what you've noticed ?
Any reasons driving that, and them forgoing the better officer pay?
been following ur vids for a year now lol back when i was learning about it before joining. now as an aviator it’s not that bad even on p1 cuz u get ur rations and quarters reimbursed until ur trained
but it is not enough to supplement the inflation of living esp if ur posted at an expensive base. i’m doing ql3 at borden right now and if ur not eating mess food it’s going to b a 20 meal
I hear ya. Only way to make it work as an Avr or pte is to live on base till qualificated unless you have a partner or spouse who also works and helps out with rent and bills
You said CAF pay always goes up. Not always because back in the early 90s for example I was PTE 1 for three years until promoted to CPL. I can see those days returning due to the budget. Biggest benefit is having a pension.
Thank you so much for this video, could you post a new video about deployment? I have two little ones, I really don’t want to deploy , my Situation is my case is waiting for background check, I still struggle with whether I enlist military after I receive the job offer or not , just because of deployment. Please give me more advise . Thanks
Full time or?

I read that payments are monthly. Roughly.
When do CAF members get paid? Is it different for individuals?
Payments are bi weekly. Mid month and end month.
That's crazy you pay taxes in the military 😅 wtf
As an American born citizen who self identifies as Canadian and served 2.5 years with the Royal Canadian Air Force ( 3 wing/23 military police flight) i can honestly sat yes biddy we all pay taxes in the military, every single one of us.
