BAH Pro Tips
BAH is tax-free
Unlike base pay, BAH is not taxed — $2,000 BAH equals ~$2,560 in civilian pre-tax income at the 22% bracket.
Rates lock in
Your BAH rate is based on your duty station ZIP, not where you live. If rates decrease, you keep your current rate (rate protection).
Dependents matter
Having even one dependent increases BAH. The rate is the same whether you have 1 dependent or 5.
Barracks vs. BAH
Single junior enlisted often live in barracks and do not receive BAH. Married members always receive BAH.
