ZIP → MHA → BAH · DOD OFFICIAL RATES

BAH LOOKUP

Enter your ZIP and rank — we look up your Military Housing Area and return the exact 2026 DoD rate.

How BAH is calculated

The DoD uses Military Housing Areas (MHAs) — geographic regions that group nearby ZIP codes. Your BAH rate is based on your MHA, rank, and whether you have dependents. ZIP code → MHA → BAH rate. All data from official 2026 DoD tables.

We cover 80+ Military Housing Areas and 1,500+ ZIP codes across every major installation — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Space Force. If your ZIP is not found, try entering a nearby military ZIP or use the full calculator.

Important: BAH rates shown are estimates. Always verify your exact rate on the official DoD BAH calculator before making housing decisions.
