Subscribe2007 Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) Rates
In addition to basic pay and the Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), military personnel living off-base receive the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover their living expenses. BAH is a tax-free allowance and is in addition to other forms of military compensation.
Specific BAH rates vary, depending upon a servicemember’s rank, geographic location of duty station, and whether they have dependents. Calculation of exact BAS rates may be performed using the DOD BAS Calculator. Members of the reserve component on active duty for less than 30 days or in transit receive the BAS Reserve Component/Transit (BAS RC/T) rates. BAS RC/T rates do not vary based upon duty station and appear in the table below:
