BAH Rates

Military Housing Allowance

This site exists for one reason: to help you make the most of your Basic Allowance for Housing Rates so you can become a homeowner and forever leave behind the renter lifestyle. We are experts in helping military families leverage their BAH rates in combination with a VA loan to buy a home near their military installation. In fact, our partner site, Housing For Military, provides nationwide help in locating off-base military housing that you can afford, right here, right now.

How Are BAH Rates Determined?

BAH Rates are determined by pay grade and geographic location. So if you are located in San Antonio, TX with a pay grade of E06, your BAH rate would be $1347 per month. That is money in your pocket that you can use to qualify for a mortgage and buy a home.

Are there advantages for two spouses in the military?

Yes, there are, and it’s a big one. If you and your spouse are both in the military, your BAH rates are 50% higher. In the above example, your BAH rate would be $2020 per month. This is a sizable housing allowance, and we’ll help you use it to your advantage to buy a home.
