LES Codes / MID-MONTH-PAY

MID-MONTH-PAY: MID-MONTH PAY

What it is

This is not money taken from you. Military pay computes monthly but pays twice a month, so the amount you already received on the 15th appears as a deduction on the end-of-month LES. It is your own money, already in your bank account.

2026 rate

Roughly half your net monthly pay.

What goes wrong

The most misread line on the entire LES. If you are trying to figure out where your money went, start by remembering this line is the paycheck you already got.
