how much will i make after 30 years in the army?

It depends partly on what rank you retire at and you have to have two years at that rank or you previous rank is used to figure that. They take that rank and the base pay for it and 30 years would give you something like 67% of your base pay every month for the rest of your life starting the day you walk out the door. That is based on the old retirement system. Under the new retirement system which starts 1 Jan there are some real differences. Under the new system its almost like a 401 K and you can choose to contribute to it or not but the military will match up to a certain percentage which is fairly high if I remember what I read about it. Then if a member leaves before they have twenty or more good years they get something rather than nothing which they can roll over into another retirement plan or instead take the lump sum of money they and the military has also matched and do whatever they want with it minus any penalties like what applies to the civilian sector now. Projections for it work out to being pretty close to what a person would get under the old retirement system also. With it being ever harder to stay in for twenty years or more its really a pretty good alternative to the old retirement system.

Few people make it to 20 years of service, let alone 30 years. But it would be 75% of your average base pay for the last three years. Depending on the state you retire at, it may or may not be taxed.

It depends on your rank/salary. In Canada, you make 2% per year of service times the average of your best 5 years. So, 60% of your 5 year average, which will be about 55% of your final salary, give or take.

75% of your base pay.

Try completing your first tour. Most people I know are already out. The general average is 3 out of 4 never go into a second enlistment and only about 12-15% make it to retirement. You probably won't make it too far as your focus seems to be funds. Not a wise plan since you probably have not considered the actual career...not the dream most recruits have of pumping pushups in the operational force, only to realize they thought a career was one big boot camp of endless push-ups and firing weapons wildly like COD...

You are that iDiot that asked about killing a cat a while back...the only force you are part of is the McDonalds volunteer trash collector to earn that last credit to prevent failing high school your third time around...

Enlisted or officer? Look at the pay charts.

Depends on what rate/rank you retire at. But here look it up: https://www.navycs.com/charts/2017-military-pay-chart.html
