1. What is the Navy PPM Move Calculator?

The Navy PPM (Personally Procured Move) Calculator estimates reimbursement for military personnel who organize their own move. It calculates the amount based on weight, rate, distance, and an adjustment factor.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Navy PPM equation:

\[ Reimbursement = Weight \times Rate \times Distance \times Factor \]

Where:

$ Weight $ — Total weight of goods (lb)
$ Rate $ — Rate per pound per mile ($/lb/mile)
$ Distance $ — Distance of the move (miles)
$ Factor $ — Adjustment factor (dimensionless)

Explanation: The equation multiplies the weight of the shipment by the rate, distance, and an adjustment factor to determine the total reimbursement amount.

3. Importance of Reimbursement Calculation

Details: Accurate reimbursement calculation is crucial for Navy personnel to properly budget and receive appropriate compensation for personally procured moves, ensuring financial fairness and compliance with military moving policies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter weight in pounds, rate in dollars per pound per mile, distance in miles, and the adjustment factor. All values must be valid positive numbers.
