A Navy SEAL after completing training is likely at the rank of Special Warfare operator Third class or E-4. This means they’ll only be making $2,752 ($33,023) a month in basic pay. A more experienced SEAL such as a Chief Special Warfare operator will be earning slightly more at around $4,500 ($54,000) a month.

But that’s not all. Navy SEALs are some of the most highly trained and skilled soldiers on the planet as such they are entitled to a few more specific types of pay. For example, all SEALs are jump qualified earning them $150 a month with some being trained in free fall operations like HALO and HAHO jumps earning them $225 a month.

The same goes for demolitions, they are trained in the setting and use of explosives earning them $150 a month as well as being extremely competent divers earning them up to $240 a month.

But it still doesn’t stop there because depending on where they are deployed they may be entitled to hostile fire or imminent danger pay again earning them another $225 a month.

Now as a SEAL you are unlikely to be earning all of these extra types of pay every month but they do add up, adding around $5-10,000 a year onto your base salary.

But one last thing, the military also gives you money for food being set at $465.77 (5589.24) a month as well as housing with the exact amount determined by where you are stationed, whether you are married and if you have kids.

For example, if you're stationed in Fort Chaffee as a bachelor E-4 you’d be given $873 ($10,476) a month for housing but if you were stationed in San Francisco you’d be given $3,447 ($41,364) a month.

So all in all an E-4 Navy SEALs total pay is likely to be around $67,300 a year.
