Military pay or military compensation is the pay system by which members of the military are compensated for their participation in the military.

As parts of government pay systems, military pay typically does not compete with private military compensation.

Because military service requires fit soldiers and commitments that might reach well beyond civilian employment, governments typically provided additional health care, military housing and retirement or veteran's benefits.

Overall, Canada's military personnel are paid the highest salaries. When comparing the top countries, Australia came in second place, based on the fact that their Private and Corporal pay scale goes up to 10 Pay incentives. A Private in the Australian military will make $88,748 AUD (as of Nov 14 2019) without any bonuses after 10 years.
