Run the numbers before you decide
The BAH Calculator runs on real 2026 DFAS with-dependents rates for 32 of the 33 installations with a full BAH rate table (without-dependents figures are verified for some, estimated for the rest — see the badge on the result). The Buy vs. Rent Calculator is transparent, illustrative math, clearly labeled as such. Nothing on this page asks for your name, email, or phone number to show a result.
