2004 Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) Rates

In calendar year 2003, service members living "on the economy" have been paying an average of 7.5 percent of the housing costs out-of-pocket. That percentage will drop to 3.5 in fiscal 2004, and be eliminated in fiscal 2005. Housing allowance rates are based upon rank, location, and whether or not a member has dependents.
