How BAH works

  • BAH is tax-free and paid monthly alongside your base pay
  • Rates are set by the Military Housing Area (MHA) -- not your specific ZIP code
  • "With dependents" rate applies if you have a spouse, child, or other qualifying dependent
  • You keep the difference if you find housing below your BAH rate
  • Rates are updated annually on January 1 and guaranteed not to decrease mid-year
Calculate your total military compensation -- base pay + BAH + BAS in one place.
