Other Pay: Foreign Language Proficiency
In an effort to expand language capabilities, the services offer up to $12,000 per year for active-duty members and up to $6,000 a year for reservists with needed language skills. The highest rates of pay go to those with proficiency in the most critically needed languages, such as Arabic, Pashtu, Persian-Afghan (Dari) and Mandarin.
The amount of pay also varies depending on the level of proficiency in speaking, reading and writing the foreign language.
Foreign language proficiency pay is taxable except in combat zones.
