New Hampshire VA Loan Guide

What is the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)?

The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a significant form of financial aid provided to U.S. military personnel to help with housing expenses while stationed away from their home base. In New Hampshire, BAH adjustments are made according to rank, duty location, and whether the service member has dependents, ensuring the allowance aligns with local housing market costs.

Each year, the Department of Defense reviews BAH rates to respond to changes in housing expenses, aiding service members in maintaining financial stability. This page presents the updated BAH rates for New Hampshire, enabling you to determine the appropriate allowance based on your rank and family situation.

Determining BAH Rates

BAH rates in New Hampshire are influenced by several key factors:

  • Location: Reflects the diverse housing costs across different Military Housing Areas (MHA).
  • Rank: Higher ranks receive enhanced allowances, acknowledging their greater responsibilities and housing needs.
  • Dependents: Service members with families receive higher rates to ensure adequate family housing.

BAH is designed to offer financial assistance to military members to secure suitable and affordable housing, promoting stability and comfort during their service in New Hampshire.

Using the BAH Charts

To ascertain your monthly BAH:

  1. Identify your Military Housing Area (MHA).
  2. Refer to the charts to find your pay grade (rank).
  3. Determine if you have dependents.

These steps will guide you to the correct housing allowance, facilitating effective financial planning for your stay in New Hampshire.
