New Jersey VA Loan Guide

What is the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)?

The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a vital financial support mechanism for U.S. military personnel, aimed at helping with housing expenses while stationed away from their primary residence. In New Jersey, BAH adjustments are tailored according to rank, duty location, and the presence of dependents, ensuring the allowance matches the local housing market costs.

Each year, the Department of Defense revises BAH rates to adapt to fluctuations in housing expenses, helping service members achieve financial stability. This page provides the latest BAH rates for New Jersey, allowing you to determine the appropriate allowance based on your rank and family circumstances.

Determining BAH Rates

BAH rates in New Jersey are determined by several critical factors:

  • Location: Reflects the varied housing costs across different Military Housing Areas (MHA).
  • Rank: Higher ranks receive increased allowances, reflecting their broader responsibilities and housing needs.
  • Dependents: Service members with families are eligible for higher BAH rates to support proper family accommodation.

BAH is intended to provide financial aid to military members to secure appropriate and affordable housing, fostering stability and comfort throughout their service in New Jersey.

Using the BAH Charts

To calculate your monthly BAH:

  1. Identify your Military Housing Area (MHA).
  2. Locate your pay grade (rank) in the provided charts.
  3. Check if you have dependents.

These steps will help you find the exact housing allowance, enabling effective financial planning during your time in New Jersey.

2025 New Jersey BAH Rate Charts

For 2025, New Jersey’s BAH rates have increased in line with the national average of about 5.4%. This annual adjustment ensures BAH rates are aligned with the local housing market trends, offering necessary support for military personnel seeking off-base housing.
