$4,425 a month with dependents and $3,600 without dependents, according to DTMO's 2026 rate files for MHA NY218.
How much is E-4 and E-6 BAH at Long Island, NY?
E-4: $4,122 with dependents, $3,189 without. E-6: $4,773 with dependents, $3,852 without.
Did BAH go up at Long Island, NY in 2026?
With-dependents rates changed by +4.9% on average across the 24 pay grades compared with 2025. If a published rate falls, individual rate protection keeps members who stay at the same duty station, grade and dependency status at their previous rate.
Does BAH depend on where I live or where I am stationed?
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.
When will 2027 BAH rates for Long Island, NY be published?
DTMO normally releases next year's rates in December, effective 1 January. See 2027 BAH rates.
