Purpose: The Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) Program is a compensation option for supervisory level Sailors who have a skill set that has been defined as a "critical skill" IAW 37, U.S.C. section 331. The program became effective on 5 November 2004 and is designed to take a large step towards the proper compensation of those Sailors with certain skill sets who are willing to make the Navy a career choice.

Administrative procedures for ESRP are outlined in NAVADMIN 055/23 above. Further program details are provided in the ESRP Policy Memo (links to both are above).
 
The basic calculation shown below can be used to estimate the amount of the SRB/ESRP due. Consult with your Command Career Counselor for an accurate determination in accordance with the latest guidance.
 
BASIC PAY (date of discharge) x AOS (Additional Obligated Service in months) x MULTIPLE / 12
 
Example:  ETN3(SS)(N13O) with over 2 years of service reenlists for 72 months (48 months beyond present obligation, excluding non-executed extension)    
 
$2892.97 (2025 Pay Table) x 48 x 5.5 / 12 = $63,645.34 (cap is $100K)
 
Approximately one half (minus taxes) will be paid at the time of the reenlistment, with the remaining amount paid in equal installments.
