BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing)

The tax-free military housing allowance for members without government quarters.

BAH offsets civilian housing costs for service members, varying by Military Housing Area, pay grade, and dependent status. Rates are set from local rental-market data and take effect January 1; individual rate protection keeps existing members from decreases.
