Pay Scales
Pay Scales

Your pay in the Canadian Forces is based on your occupation and rank. All service personnel, men and women, married or single, are paid on the same scale.

Your pay will automatically be deposited into your bank account of a financial institution of your choice, on the 15th and the last day of each month. The usual deductions will be made for income taxes, Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance and Superannuation (the Forces Pension). In addition, you should consult your nearest recruiter to find out if some signing bonuses apply to your situation.
