The rate of pay depends on rank, time in service, and special pay for certain circumstances.

As of 2017 the lowest rank (Private, E-1) pay is set at $1599.90 per month regardless of time in service. Of course you wouldn't expect them to retain an E-1 for very long without advancing them so anything past the first year or so is meaningless anyway. The top level of Enlisted (Sargent Major or Master Gunnery Sergent, E-9) gets $5,052.60 to $7,844.60 per month.

Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps basic pay is $8,165.10.

Warrant officers (Warrant officer1, W1 - Chief Warrant Officer, W5) can get between $2,966.40 and $9,730.80 depending on rank and time in service.

Among the officers, they start at $3,034.80 (freshly minted 2nd Lieutenant, O-1) up to $15,583.20 for a General (O-10).

They may receive additional pay in the form of housing allowances, combat pay, extra hazard pay, etc.
