Ask the question you would ask a counselor
Garrison already has your rank, station, match, and leftover. Ask how to pay debt down, whether to raise TSP, or what a move costs. Nothing runs until you send.
How can I save more and pay off debt faster on this paycheck?
Should I put more than 5% into TSP this year?
Is this car payment too much for my rank?

What the job really pays this month
Ask Garrison — AI on the numbers you already entered
Is this affiliated with the Department of Defense, the Office of Personnel Management, or TSP.gov?
No. Garrison is an independent planning tool. Rates are compiled from public 2026 Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and Thrift Savings Plan publications and labeled as planning figures.
Do you sell my data?
No. Your numbers live in your browser until you sign in. A signed-in save is scoped to your account. Nobody else at Garrison browses it. We do not sell data.
Can I use this if I am a General Schedule (GS) civilian?
Yes. Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), locality pay, the 5% match, and the annuity are first-class — including Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) posts with no locality.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a command center, calculators, and field manuals. Decisions stay with you, your counselor, or a fiduciary you chose.
