2018 Military BAH Rates to See Small Average Increase

Military Update: Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) paid to 956,000 service members living off base in the U.S. will climb modestly Jan. 1, an average of only 0.7 percent or $10 a month, as an allowance-dampening formula enters its fourth year.

Actual BAH increases for individuals will vary widely based on where they are assigned, paygrade and whether they have family.

But military folks assigned to 128 of 301 of military housing areas will see no housing allowance increase in 2018 because local BAH rates will fall.
