Service members will see a 4.2% average increase in their basic allowance for housing in 2026 — a smaller boost than the 5.4% increase they received in 2024 and 2025. 

But the actual increases military households will receive will vary depending largely on where they are stationed and their pay grades. While the increase is higher in some areas, the rates decrease in several areas, including Phoenix, Arizona, and Brownsville, Texas. Service members stationed in areas where rates go down are protected and get to keep their existing BAH.
