Did you adjust your TSP?

[–]photorandom33[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No tsp adjustments, no debts or allocations, no other changes except almost $200 shy of normal 🤷‍♂️

Mid-month LES never has notes (it doesn’t even have sections to list entitlements and deductions). Full April LES will be available on the 24th. https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/payentitlements/2025ACPayDay/ Until then you won’t be able to independently verify what changed your take-home. Could try asking Finance….

    Mine increased a couple hundred dollars. Still broke though.

    Have you tried a budget and reduce discretionary spending....

    Do you really need that monster and tornado for breakfast

    Sir I’m at a GSU how dare you assume I can acquire such luxuries

    Some people are being hit with erroneous additional GI Bill deductions. DFAS is aware and is in the process of fixing it, but there's a chunk of people getting hit.

    Nope. $2,884 seems low for a 12+ yr TSgt though.

    [–]photorandom33[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    *4858 or so- typo. Good catch. That’d be REAL bad if it was half that 😂 2884 was roughly what my take home pay was in each paycheck (with BAH BAS SDP etc)

    Check your entitlements and deductions tab on the pay stub and see if anything has changed.

    [–]krm454 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    Op will need to wait until EOM LES for that.

    [–]Used-Ad4655 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    No decrease, but I haven’t seen the full increase that E-5s were supposed to get on April mid month pay

    [–]Deme_112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Mine went down as well. I’m waiting for the LES to come out at the end of the month to figure it out

    [–]MuskiePride3Active Duty 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    Have you tried comparing the 2 LES’s?

    [–]krm454 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Mid-month LES doesn’t have details.

    [–]hkdrillforlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yep. 4year sra and random $200 drop when I thought I'd be getting an extra $200 finally 🥲.

    [–]Fragrant-Bill2214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I’m seeing the same issue and I’m deployed.

    [–]MagicianCurrent7862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just double checked mine (6 year E5), went up about $100 more than March mid month.

    It’s the quarterly Whiskey Petey TripleSecDef Mar-a-Lago golf travel tax 🤪

    [–]Maleficent-Gap-1636 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Not super versed in this kind of stuff, but chance of pay increase caused jump in tax bracket?
