How these rates work

  • BAH depends on the area, the pay grade and whether the member has dependents; every rate here is a whole-dollar cell of DoD’s 2026 file (BAH-ASCII-2026.zip), not an estimate.
  • Rate protection (37 U.S.C. 403(b)(6)): So long as a member retains uninterrupted eligibility for BAH within an area of the United States, the monthly allowance may not be reduced as a result of changes in housing costs in the area or the member’s promotion. This page can’t know a protected rate; the Leave and Earnings Statement shows it.
  • ZIP codes outside DoD’s file, and the 214 ZIP codes DoD’s file assigns to XX499 (“UNKNOWN”), have no area page.
