ROYAL AIR FORCE PAY SCALES

(April 2018 - March 2019)
Please note these figures include 0.9% in the form of a bonus

The Government has asked the Armed Forces Pay review Body (AFPRB) to conduct the 2019 pay round and submit their recommendations in early May. This means the Armed Forces' pay award for 2019 will be delayed. Any increase in pay will be backdated to 1 April 2019.
