Did BAH go up at Detroit, MI in 2026?

On your permanent duty station's ZIP code, not where you choose to live. Members are free to live anywhere; the rate is fixed by the duty location, pay grade and whether you have dependents.

DTMO normally releases next year's rates in December, effective 1 January. See 2027 BAH rates.
