Other grades: E-8 BAH · E-9 PCS weight allowance
How much BAH does an E-9 get in 2026? It depends on the duty station. Across 299 military housing areas, an E-9 with dependents receives between $1,755 (Anniston/Fort Mcclellan, AL) and $6,882 (Westchester County, NY) per month; the median is $2,682. Without dependents the median is $2,265.
Is BAH for an E-9 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.
