What is the Basic Allowance for Housing?
The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a critical financial benefit for active-duty U.S. military members. It helps cover housing expenses when you’re stationed away from your home installation. BAH amounts depend on factors like rank, dependents, and location, ensuring they match local rental costs so service members can find suitable housing.
The Department of Defense reviews and adjusts BAH rates each year to keep up with changing housing markets. Below are the latest BAH figures for Kansas, enabling you to easily find the rate that applies to your rank and dependent status.
How BAH Rates Are Determined
BAH depends on where you’re stationed, your rank, and whether you have dependents. Updated annually, these rates stay current with regional housing costs. Key points include:
- Location: Costs differ widely based on local rental prices.
- Rank: Higher ranks receive larger allowances.
- Dependents: Having dependents generally means a higher BAH rate.
BAH is designed to make local market housing accessible, ensuring service members can secure comfortable lodging close to their duty stations.
