BAH for 2026 is set for each Military Housing Area by pay grade and dependency status, effective January 1, 2026 (DTMO).

Pick an installation for its full 2026 table: E-1 through O-10, with and without dependents, the Military Housing Area it belongs to, and the change from 2025 where the prior-year table is on file. The figure next to each name is the E-5 with-dependents rate. To put two or more stations side by side, or to see what a lease leaves in your pocket, use the BAH calculator. Overseas stations are paid OHA instead: see OHA rates by country.
