Finnish Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen has decided to raise reservist pay from 1 October 2026. The daily rate for rank-and-file reservists will rise from €68.42 to €70.19.
Non-commissioned officers will receive €73.70 per day, up from €71.85. Officers and specialist officers will receive €77.21, up from €75.27. Each rate goes up by about 2.6%.
The Ministry of Defence estimates the increase will cost around €318,413 in 2027. The cost will be covered from the operating budget already allocated to the Finnish Defence Forces.
"With this third annual increase of the parliamentary term, we continue to raise reservists' daily pay," Häkkänen said.
