Questions

What is the 2026 BAH for an E-5 at Sacramento, CA?
$2,904 a month with dependents and $2,190 without dependents, according to DTMO's 2026 rate files for MHA CA034.
How much is E-4 and E-6 BAH at Sacramento, CA?
E-4: $2,598 with dependents, $2,016 without. E-6: $2,979 with dependents, $2,325 without.
Did BAH go up at Sacramento, CA in 2026?
With-dependents rates changed by −0.3% 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 Sacramento, CA be published?
DTMO normally releases next year's rates in December, effective 1 January. See 2027 BAH rates.
