I know it’s still not been officially signed but it appears at least that the military pay changes are pretty well set for 2026. So with that, here is version (202)6 of the retirement calculator. In addition to updating all of the various pay rates for 2026, it has an estimated pay rate for 2027 that includes a 3% raise. I’ve updated the disability rates, social security withholding limits (something I apparently haven’t actually done in the past), updated the 2026 tax brackets, and also defaulted to the latest 2026 standard deduction (for married)
As always, this calculator is only for information purposes. I would highly encourage you to double check my math. You can download the calculator here.
