As of 2023, a five-star general in the U.S. military, which is an honorary rank, does not have a specific active salary since there are no current five-star generals. However, a four-star general, the highest active rank, typically earns a base salary of around $15,000 to $20,000 per month, depending on years of service and other factors, totaling approximately $180,000 to $240,000 annually. Additional allowances and benefits can increase total compensation.

General is one rank higher than Maj. General. In the order that you have mentioned the ranks in your posting, it appears that it is the other way. As far as my knowledge is concerned, a major general carries two stars while a lieutenant general carries three, a full pledge general, four. A brigadier general one.
