Military pay is complicated. Pay differs from location to location, and by family size. There is also a tax advantage.

Basically an Army Full Colonel (O-6) with 1 year service makes $90,436.08, and with 45 years service $142,186.08. I'll bet there are none in either category, so the average is somewhere in the middle. Maybe around $128,000.

Col., 0-6 for a Col. etc. The pay-grade is what counts, because a US Navy Captain is a full bird 0-6 Colonel in the US Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

How much Retired pay for retired military colonel?

The retired pay for a military colonel depends on several factors, including years of service and the retirement pay calculation method used. Generally, retired pay is calculated as a percentage of the colonel's final basic pay, often using a formula based on the number of years of service. For example, under the High-36 retirement system, a colonel with 20 years of service might receive approximately 50% of their average highest 36 months of basic pay. Specific amounts can vary widely based on individual circumstances, so it's best to consult the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) or relevant military resources for precise calculations.
