Army BAH Calculator 2026
Your Army Basic Allowance for Housing depends on three things: your duty-station location, your paygrade, and whether you have dependents. BAH is the same for every service member at a given base and paygrade - it does not change by branch - so the rate below is your Army rate. Enter your ZIP or base to see your 2026 number.

Is Army BAH different from other branches?
No. BAH rates are set by the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) per Military Housing Area, paygrade, and dependency status - identical across the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard. An E-5 with dependents at a given base receives the same BAH whether they are a soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, Guardian, or Coast Guardsman.
What changes your amount is where you are stationed, your paygrade, and dependents - not your branch.
