Taxes, you must think about them when thinking about your desired salary. Your BAH and BAH are not taxed income, but definitely factor into your standard of living.

If you are not retired you also need to think about medical benefits. If you are retired it is less important ass Tricare is always in your back pocket.

We did rough math as we near retirement too. We did federal withholding on our military compensation on base salary and BAH/BAS combined and state withholdings expected on it as well. With an expected set pension we federal taxes on it an subtracted that amount from the previous calculation to get a rough estimate of what my next total compensation should be to equal what we make now. This helps focus my efforts on job postings and compensatory estimates. Health benefits are a bargaining tool

Really depends on your career goals, OP. If pay is out of the equation, then you should consider the WLB and culture of the company. Best of luck on your new journey!

Are you planning to transition, OP? What's your reason? I'm considering it right now as well.

4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
