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)
$2631.67 (2023 Pay Table) x 48 x 5.5 / 12 = $57,896.74 (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.
