Members without dependents: rental ceiling x90%, utility/recurring maintenance x75%, MIHA unreduced., tables as of 2026-10-01; rebuilt automatically on the 1st and 16th. OHA reimburses actual rent up to the ceiling — you do not keep the difference. Confirm on the official DTMO OHA lookup.
About this entitlement
What you need to know — straight from the regulation
OHA is not BAH
BAH pays a fixed monthly rate regardless of what you actually pay, so a member who rents below the rate keeps the difference. OHA does not work that way: it reimburses your actual documented rent, capped at the rent ceiling for your grade and locality. Rent below the ceiling and you are simply paid less. The utility/recurring maintenance allowance is the exception — it is a flat amount, so underspending there does leave money in your pocket.
DoD FMR Vol. 7A, Ch. 26
Why the dollar amount moves twice a month
Ceilings are set in local currency — euros in Germany, yen in Japan, won in Korea — but you are paid in dollars. DoD revises its pay-system exchange rate on the 1st and the 16th of every month, so your dollar OHA can change twice a month while the local-currency ceiling has not moved at all. Some countries publish their tables directly in US dollars; for those, no conversion applies.
DTMO Appendix K Part II (exchange rates)
Members without dependents
The rent ceiling is 90% of the with-dependents figure. The utility/recurring maintenance allowance is 75%. MIHA is paid at the full amount either way. These are three different factors, and applying the 90% to all of them overstates what a single member actually receives.

Tax treatment
OHA is non-taxable and is not reported as wages on your W-2.
