Disclaimer

Not a government website

This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Travel Management Office, DFAS, or any other government agency. It is an independent, privately operated educational resource. References to government agencies are for informational purposes only.

Rates are estimates

BAH rates displayed here are sourced from the DoD Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) annual rate tables and are provided for estimation and educational purposes only. While we work to keep our data accurate and current, we make no warranty as to its completeness or accuracy. The housing-affordability comparison uses estimated median-rent data and is illustrative only.

Your actual entitlement depends on factors a calculator cannot fully capture — exact dependency documentation, special duty circumstances, mid-year adjustments, and rate protection. Always verify your official BAH with your unit finance office or DFAS before making any financial decision, such as signing a lease or mortgage.

Not financial or legal advice

Nothing on this site constitutes financial, tax, legal, or professional advice. Content is general in nature and may not apply to your situation. Consult a qualified professional — or a free Military OneSource financial counselor — for advice specific to you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the information or tools on this site. You use this BAH calculator at your own risk.

We link to official government and third-party resources for your convenience. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any external site.
