Other grades: E-6 BAH · E-8 BAH · E-7 PCS weight allowance
How much BAH does an E-7 get in 2026? It depends on the duty station. Across 299 military housing areas, an E-7 with dependents receives between $1,491 (Youngstown, OH) and $5,832 (Westchester County, NY) per month; the median is $2,493. Without dependents the median is $1,989.
Is BAH for an E-7 taxed? No. BAH is a tax-free allowance. It is paid monthly with your regular pay, based on the ZIP code of your duty station — not where you choose to live.
What decides the with-dependents rate? Having at least one dependent — a spouse or child, for example. The number of dependents does not change the amount.
Not listed: 39 rural county cost groups, which the DoD prices as groups of counties rather than named areas. Look them up by ZIP code in the calculator.
