BAH Rates

  • Basic Allowance for Housing — locality rates set by the Department of Defense, varying by paygrade, dependents status, and duty-station ZIP code.
  • Enter a 5-digit ZIP and rank to view the with-dependents and without-dependents monthly rates across all available years.

Basic Pay

  • Monthly basic pay taken from the official DoD pay table for the selected year. Years of service brackets follow the DoD bands.
  • Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) rates — flat monthly amounts by member type (officer or enlisted) — appear at the bottom of the table.

Clothing Allowance

  • Annual Clothing Initial Allowance (CIA) and Replacement Allowance (CRA) rates by fiscal year, branch, and gender.
  • Filter by branch or gender to narrow the results. Amounts are paid annually unless otherwise indicated in the frequency column.
