    Sec. 8991. Computation of retired pay

-STATUTE-
      (a) Computation. - 
        (1) Formula. - The monthly retired pay of a member entitled to
      such pay under this subtitle is computed by multiplying - 
          (A) the member's retired pay base (as computed under section
        1406(e) or 1407 of this title), by
          (B) the retired pay multiplier prescribed in section 1409 of
        this title for the number of years credited to the member under
        section 1405 of this title.

        (2) Additional 10 percent for certain enlisted members credited
      with extraordinary heroism. - If a member who is retired under
      section 8914 of this title has been credited by the Secretary of
      the Air Force with extraordinary heroism in the line of duty, the
      member's retired pay shall be increased by 10 percent of the
      amount determined under paragraph (1) (but to not more than 75
      percent of the retired pay base upon which the computation of
      such retired pay is based). The Secretary's determination as to
      extraordinary heroism is conclusive for all purposes.

      (b) General Rules. - 
        (1) Use of most favorable formula. - If a person would
      otherwise be entitled to retired pay computed under more than one
      formula in subsection (a) or the table in section 1401 of this
      title, he is entitled to be paid under the applicable formula
      that is most favorable to him.
        (2) Rounding to next lower dollar. - The amount computed under
      subsection (a), if not a multiple of $1, shall be rounded to the
      next lower multiple of $1.

      (c) Special Rule for Retired Reserve Enlisted Members Covered by
    Section 8963. - In the case of a Reserve enlisted member retired
    under section 8914 of this title whose retired grade is determined
    under section 8963 of this title and who first became a member of a
    uniformed service before September 8, 1980, the retired pay base of
    the member (notwithstanding section 1406(a)(1) of this title) is
    the amount of the monthly basic pay of the member's retired grade
    (determined based upon the rates of basic pay applicable on the
    date of the member's retirement), and that amount shall be used for
    the purposes of subsection (a)(1)(A) rather than the amount
    computed under section 1406(e) of this title.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

      In the introductory paragraph, the applicability of the rule
    stated in the third sentence to situations not expressly covered by
    the laws named in the source statutes above is a practical
    construction that the rule must be reciprocally applied in all
    cases.
      In formula B, the words "basic pay" are substituted for the words
    "base and longevity pay" to conform to the terminology of the
    Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 802 (37 U.S.C. 231 et
    seq.). The words "his retired grade" are substituted for the words
    "permanent grade held at time of retirement" to reflect the right
    to higher retired grade when qualified under other provisions of
    law. 10:941a(e) (last proviso of clause (1)), is omitted, since,
    under section 202 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat.
    807 (37 U.S.C. 233), the active duty pay of all members of the Air
    Force is based upon years of service.
      In formula C, the computation is based on monthly pay instead of
    annual pay to conform to the other formulas of the revised section.
    The words "basic pay" are substituted for the words "active duty
    base and longevity pay", and the words "in determining his basic
    pay" are substituted for the words "for longevity pay purposes", to
    conform to the terminology of the Career Compensation Act of 1949,
    63 Stat. 802 (37 U.S.C. 231 et seq.). The words "Monthly basic pay
    of member's retired grade" are substituted for the words "the rank
    upon which they are retired", in 10:971, and "rank with which
    retired", in 10:971b, to reflect their right to advancement on the
    retired list. 10:971 now applies only when the retiring officer has
    30 or more years of service which may be credited in computing his
    retired pay. 10:971b (2d proviso) is omitted, since, under section
    202 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 807 (37 U.S.C.
    233), the pay of all members is based upon cumulative years of
    service. 10:971b (4th proviso) is omitted as executed. 10:971b
    (last proviso) is omitted, since the distinction between limited
    and unlimited retired lists was abolished by section 201 of the Act
    of June 29, 1948, ch. 708, 62 Stat. 1084. Sections 8918, 8920, and
    8924 are included under this formula, since it achieves the same
    result as is reached on a basis of 30 years multiplied by 2 1/2 
    percent, and simplifies the table.
      In formulas D and E the words "credited under section 8925" are
    substituted for the words "active Federal service", since that
    revised section makes explicit the service covered. The Act of
    August 10, 1946, ch. 952, Sec. 6(c), 60 Stat. 996, is not contained
    in 10:948. It is also omitted from the revised section as executed.
    10:980 now applies only when the retiring enlisted member has at
    least 30 years of service which may be credited in computing his
    retired pay. However, as noted above, 10:980 is the only provision
    of law applicable to cases in which the retiring member has at
    least 30 years of service. The Act of June 16, 1942, ch. 413, Sec.
    19 (63d through 75th words of 2d par.), 56 Stat. 369, repealed so
    much of the Act of March 2, 1907, ch. 2513, 34 Stat. 1217, as
    provided allowances for enlisted men on the retired list. The
    repeal of section 19 of the Act of June 16, 1942, by section
    531(b)(34) of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 839,
    did not revive that portion of the Act of March 2, 1907, which had
    been repealed by the Act of June 16, 1942. Accordingly, the Act of
    March 2, 1907, as thus modified by the Act of June 16, 1942, is
    used as the basis for formula E.
      Footnote 2 reflects the long-standing construction of those
    provisions dealing with computation of retired pay which do not
    specifically provide that the member is entitled to compute his
    retired pay on the basis of the monthly basic pay to which he would
    be entitled if he were on active duty in his retired grade. Except
    in cases covered by formula C, the pertinent basic computation
    provisions for such retirement either provide for computation of
    retired pay on the same basis as the provisions dealing with higher
    retired grade, or the basic retirement provisions were themselves
    enacted after the provisions authorizing higher retired grade. The
    provisos of 10:1002 and 1005 are omitted as surplusage, since no
    formula for the computation of retired pay includes inactive
    service on the retired list as a credit.
      The words "at rates applicable on date of retirement and adjust
    to reflect later changes in permanent rates", in footnote 2; and
    all of footnote 4; are based on the source statutes incorporated in
    the formulas to which footnotes 2 and 4 apply.
      In footnote 4, the words "and disregard a part of a year that is
    less than six months" are made applicable to formulas A-E, although
    this part of the rule is expressed only as to formula B, in
    10:941a(4)(1). The legislative history of the Career Compensation
    Act of 1949 (Hearings before the Committee on Armed Services of the
    Senate on H.R. 5007, 81st Congress, first session, p. 313, July 6,
    1949) indicates that the provisions, upon which formulas A and C-E
    are based, should be construed to require that a part of a year
    that is less than six months be disregarded.

                                 1958 ACT

    title."
      1986 - Pub. L. 99-348 amended section generally by completely
    revising the formula for computation of retired pay to provide that
    the retired pay base as computed under section 1406(e) or section
    1407 be multiplied by the retired pay multiplier prescribed in
    section 1409 for years of service credited under section 1405 for
    sections 8911, 8918, 8920, and 8924 and for the years of service
    credited under section 8925 for sections 8914 and 8917, eliminated
    monthly basic pay of a member's retired grade or to which a member
    was entitled on the day before he retired multiplied by 2 1/2 
    percent of the years of service credited, subject to footnotes 1 to
    4, as the basis for computing retired pay, incorporated provisions
    of column 3 and footnote 5 into subsec. (a)(2), struck out column
    4, which provided that the excess over 75% of pay upon which the
    computation is based be subtracted, eliminated footnotes 1 to 4,
    and added subsec. (b).

    full month of service that is in addition to the number of full
    years of service creditable to the member as one-twelfth of a year
    and disregard any remaining fractional part of a month" for "Before
    applying percentage factor, credit a part of a year that is six
    months or more as a whole year, and disregard a part of a year that
    is less than six months".
      Pub. L. 98-94, Sec. 922(a)(12), inserted "The amount computed, if
    not a multiple of $1, shall be rounded to the next lower multiple
    of $1."
      1980 - Pub. L. 96-513, Sec. 514(8), in heading for column 1 of
    table substituted "after September 7, 1980" for "on or after the
    date of the enactment of the Department of Defense Authorization
    Act, 1981".
      Pub. L. 96-342 in heading for column 1 of table inserted
    provisions respecting applicability to persons after date of
    enactment of Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1981.
      Pub. L. 96-513, Sec. 504(22), in table struck out Formula A and
    redesignated Formulas B, C, and D as A, B, and C, respectively.

    basic pay applicable to him while he so served, if such basic pay
    is greater" after "retirement" in footnote 3 of the table.
      1963 - Pub. L. 88-132 substituted in column 1 of Formula A in
    table "Monthly basic pay (!2) of member's retired grade (!1)" for
    "Monthly basic pay to which member would be entitled if he were on
    active duty in his retired grade (!1)" and eliminated from footnote
    2 to such table "and adjust to reflect later changes in applicable
    permanent rates. However, if member's retired grade is determined
    under section 3963(a) or 3963(b), use pay to which member would be
    entitled if he were on active duty in his retired grade" after
    "date of retirement".
      1962 - Pub. L. 87-651 substituted "section 8962(b)" for "section
    8962(c)" in footnote 1.
      1958 - Formula B. Pub. L. 85-422, Sec. 11(a)(9), substituted

    pay to which member was entitled on day before he retired" for
    "Monthly basic pay of member's retired grade" in column 1.
      Footnote 1. Pub. L. 85-422, Sec. 6(6), permitted in case of an
    officer who has served as Chief of Staff, computation at highest
    rates of basic pay applicable to him while he served in that
    office.
      Footnote 2. Pub. L. 85-861 struck out reference to section
    8962(b).
      1957 - Pub. L. 85-155 redesignated formulas "B" to "E" of table
    as formulas "A" to "D". Former formula "A", which related to
    computation of retirement pay for persons retired under former
    sections 8881, 8882, and 8912 of this title, was repealed by such
    Pub. L. 85-155.

      The words "basic pay * * * as the case may be" are inserted to
    conform to the terminology of the Career Compensation Act of 1949,
    63 Stat. 802 (37 U.S.C. 231 et seq.). The words "at the rate
    prescribed by law for his length of service", in 10:1004, are
    omitted as covered by the words "base and longevity pay". The words
    "base and longevity pay" are retained to cover the cases of members
    retired before the enactment of the Career Compensation Act of
    1949, and advanced on the retired list after the enactment of that
    act. The words "and disregard a part of a year that is less than
    six months" are inserted to conform to footnote 4 of section 8991
    of this title.

                                 1982 ACT                             
      This amends 10:8992 to correct an inadvertent error in the
    codification of title 10 in 1956 relating to retirement pay of
    warrant officers advanced on the retired list. For further details,
    see the explanation for amendment of 10:1405 made by section 1(17).

                                AMENDMENTS                            
      1994 - Pub. L. 103-337 amended section generally. Prior to
    amendment, section contained table with two formulas for
    recomputing retired pay of enlisted members and warrant officers of
    Air Force to reflect advancement on retired list.
      1986 - Pub. L. 99-348 revised table generally by striking out
    provision in column 1 that for a person who first became a member
    of a uniformed service, as defined in section 1407(a)(2), after
    Sept. 7, 1980, one multiplier is the monthly retired pay base as
    computed under section 1407(e), substituting in formulas A and B
    provision that the retired pay base as computed under section
    1406(e) or 1407 of this title be multiplied by the retired pay
    multiplier prescribed in section 1409 of this title for the number
    of years credited for provisions that the monthly basic pay or base
    and longevity pay, as the case may be, subject to footnote 1, of
    the grade to which the member is advanced on the retired list be
    multiplied by 2 1/2 % of years of service credited, subject to
    footnote 2, and have subtracted from it the excess over 75% of pay
    upon which the computation is based, struck out footnote 1, which
    provided that the computation be at the rate applicable on the date
    of retirement, and redesignated footnote 2 as 1 and substituted "In
    determining retired pay multiplier" for "Before applying percentage
    factor" and "1/12" for "one-twelfth".
      1983 - Pub. L. 98-94, Sec. 923(a)(1), (2)(I), in footnote 2 to
    table, substituted "Before applying percentage factor, credit each
    full month of service that is in addition to the number of full
    years of service creditable to the member as one-twelfth of a year
    and disregard any remaining fractional part of a month" for "Before
    applying percentage factor, credit a part of a year that is six
    months or more as a whole year, and disregard a part of a year that
    is less than six months".
      Pub. L. 98-94, Sec. 922(a)(13), inserted "The amount recomputed,
    if not a multiple of $1, shall be rounded to the next lower
    multiple of $1."
      1982 - Pub. L. 97-295 inserted "enlisted" before "member of the
    Air Force" and formula B relating to warrant officers.
      1980 - Pub. L. 96-513 in heading for column 1 of table
    substituted "after September 7, 1980" for "on or after the date of
    the enactment of the Department of Defense Authorization Act,
    1981".
      Pub. L. 96-342 in heading for column 1 of table inserted
    provisions respecting applicability to persons after date of
    enactment of Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1981.

                     EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1994 AMENDMENT
