Rates and Tables

Checked November 11, 2026

The 30 official tables behind the calculators: the edition each tool uses, when the next edition is due, who publishes it, and the tools that read it.

Reviewed by Guilherme Correia, active-duty U.S. Air Force

A watchdog compares every table with its publisher's schedule each time the site is built; a new edition goes in as soon as it is published (BAH, county loan limits, per diem and OHA through automated pipelines that check the publisher's site on its own schedule), and the old one stays on file. Each tool also names its own source and paragraph. See what changed and how we check figures.
