What BAH covers
BAH is a monthly allowance for housing costs, authorized by 37 U.S.C. 403 and set by DoD for each area. The rate depends on the ZIP code of the permanent duty station, pay grade and dependency status, and it is not taxed (IRS Publication 3). O-8 to O-10 receive the same rate as O-7 in DoD's files, so area pages show one row for O-7 and above.
In 2026 an E-5 with dependents gets $5,127 in San Francisco, CA and $1,185 in Anniston/Fort McClellan, AL. Compare the military pay chart and BAS rates for the rest of monthly pay.
BAH rates 2026 questions
What are the BAH rates for 2026?
DoD publishes a monthly BAH rate for every pay grade in each of 299 named military housing areas, with and without dependents, plus county cost groups for rural ZIP codes. For an E-5 with dependents the 2026 rate ranges from $1,185 in Anniston/Fort McClellan, AL to $5,127 in San Francisco, CA. The table above lists E-5 and O-3 for every area; each area page has all 24 pay grades.
How did BAH change from 2025 to 2026?
Comparing DoD's 2026 and 2025 files for E-5 with dependents, 253 of 299 named areas went up, 43 went down and 3 are unchanged. The table shows the change in dollars and percent for E-5 and O-3, and each area page shows it for every pay grade. The comparison is for the same MHA code in each year's file. A lower published rate does not necessarily lower your pay: under 37 U.S.C. 403(b)(6) a member with uninterrupted BAH eligibility in an area may not have the monthly amount reduced because of housing-cost changes or promotion.
How do I find the BAH rate for my base?
Search the table by the name of the base or city, or filter by state, and open that area's page. If you only know the ZIP code of your duty station, use the BAH calculator. Many areas are named for the base or the nearest large city, and one area can cover many ZIP codes.
What is a military housing area (MHA)?
DoD groups ZIP codes into military housing areas and sets BAH rates for each one from local housing costs (37 U.S.C. 403). Each MHA has a code, such as CA038 for San Diego, and a rate for every pay grade with and without dependents. ZIP codes outside the named areas fall into county cost groups, which are rural areas and are not listed here; the calculator covers them.
Is the Abilene/Dyess AFB BAH rate different?
Yes. DoD temporarily raised the Abilene, TX/Dyess AFB (TX270) rates effective May 16, 2026. They expire on December 31, 2026. The table shows the current temporary rates and the Abilene page also lists the original January 1 rates.
Are the 2027 BAH rates out?
This page uses DoD's 2026 rates only, and we do not estimate 2027 rates. DoD announces next year's rates before January 1; the official figures will replace these once published.
