Can anyone explain the current pay locking scheme for an E-7?

Specifically is it just the base pay, or does it include propay and any other incentives?

A decade plus past when I converted E7 - W1, the base pay is the only thing protected. Housing, food, clothing, etc will adjust to current pay grade (W1).

All pro-pays i.e. jump pay, dive, etc, are based upon years in that position.

I maybe talking out of the side of my face, as it has been a long time but that is what happened to my paycheck.

Do it, you will never regret it.

I have to agree with Old Guy but I went thru in 1985 as an E8 To CW2. I actually got a few dollars raise. Back then I am pretty sure it was just the base pay. It was well worth the move for me.

SDAP is now included in "Save Pay" and there is a cash bonus for converting.

That said the biggest advantage today is---NO FT RUCKER!

Actually SDAP is not included in save pay anymore. ref the new save pay reg published 6 Jan 2006. I know I got it but my buddy who went two classes later took that in the pants.
