How OHA works in Guam
The rent ceiling is a cap, not a payment. OHA reimburses the rent you actually pay, up to the ceiling for your locality and grade. If your lease is below the ceiling you receive your rent; if it is above, you pay the difference out of pocket. That is the key difference from stateside BAH, where the full rate is paid regardless of rent.
The utility allowance is flat. Guam pays $1,512.00 per month with dependents for utilities and recurring maintenance, and 75% of that without dependents. It is paid whether your bills are higher or lower, so efficient housing puts money in your pocket.
MIHA covers move-in costs. The miscellaneous MIHA of $823.00 is paid once when you move into private rental housing and is not reduced for members without dependents. Receipt-based MIHA rent and MIHA security payments are separate and handled by the housing office.
While you are still house-hunting, the TLA calculator covers temporary lodging on arrival, and overseas COLA starts the day you report. For the exact OHA on a specific lease — your rent against the ceiling, in dollars — use the OHA calculator.

FAQ
Guam OHA — frequently asked questions
- What is the OHA rent ceiling in Guam for 2026?
- Guam has a single OHA locality in the current DTMO table (effective June 16, 2026). For an E-5 with dependents the monthly rent ceiling is $2,450.00; the table on this page shows every pay grade, and the OHA calculator applies your actual rent.
- What is the OHA utility allowance in Guam?
- $1,512.00 per month with dependents, and 75% of that ($1,134.00) for a member without dependents. The utility and recurring-maintenance allowance is paid flat on top of your rent, so if your actual utilities cost less you keep the difference — unlike the rent portion, which only reimburses what you actually pay up to the ceiling.
- How much is MIHA in Guam?
- The MIHA (miscellaneous) move-in housing allowance for Guam is $823.00, paid once when you move into private rental housing. It is not reduced for members without dependents. MIHA rent and MIHA security are separate, receipt-based payments handled by your housing office.
- Do members without dependents get less OHA in Guam?
- Yes. A member without dependents receives 90% of the with-dependents rent ceiling and 75% of the utility allowance; MIHA is paid in full. Toggle "without dependents" on this page to see every Guam locality at those rates.
- How often do Guam OHA rates change?
- Guam OHA is paid in US dollars, so there is no exchange-rate adjustment; DTMO revises the rent ceilings as new rental data is collected. This page is rebuilt automatically from the DTMO tables on the 1st and 16th of each month (current table effective June 16, 2026).
