$2,283 a month with dependents and $1,725 without dependents, according to DTMO's 2026 rate files for MHA PA250.
How much is E-4 and E-6 BAH at Pittsburgh, PA?

Did BAH go up at Pittsburgh, PA in 2026?

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 Pittsburgh, PA be published?
DTMO normally releases next year's rates in December, effective 1 January. See 2027 BAH rates.
