1. What is a Personally Procured Move Calculator (Navy)?

Definition: This calculator estimates the reimbursement amount for Navy personnel who choose to personally arrange their own move instead of using government transportation.

Purpose: It helps Navy members understand their potential reimbursement when opting for a Personally Procured Move (PPM), formerly known as a DITY move.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Reimbursement — Amount you'll be paid ($)
• GCC — Government Constructed Cost ($)
• 1.3 — Standard multiplier for PPM moves

Explanation: The government calculates what it would cost them to move your belongings (GCC), then pays you 130% of that amount if you move yourself.

3. Importance of PPM Calculation

Details: Understanding your potential reimbursement helps in deciding whether a personally procured move makes financial sense for your situation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the GCC amount provided by your transportation office. The calculator will show your estimated reimbursement.
