美国国防部官员周三宣布，2024年，军队的住房津贴平均上涨5.4%。
新的住房基本补贴利率于1月1日生效。根据国防部官员的说法，军方将在2024年向大约100万名服役人员支付约279亿美元。
5.4%是全面的平均增长，并不意味着每个人都会看到这种增长。BAH的变化取决于地区、服役人员是否有家属以及工资级别。
例如，收入为28307和28310的E5的受抚养人将增加约9.2%。在这种情况下，每月BAH从1 572美元增加到1 716美元。对于同一地区没有家属的E5.增幅为7.1%，每月BAH从1389美元增加到1488美元。
一些地区的BAH可能会减少，但继续驻扎在这些地区的部队不会受到惩罚——他们将继续获得与2023年相同的金额。

在过去的几年里，许多军人受到了政府的沉重打击住房成本增加。2023年，平均增长了12.1%这是至少15年来基本住房补贴同比增幅最大的一次。这是国防部官员为减轻服役人员的经济负担而采取的措施之一。
BAH费率根据各种类型房屋的租赁房屋成本数据而上升或下降，这些数据每年在美国300多个军事住宅区收集，包括阿拉斯加和夏威夷。设置BAH费率的过程包括各种数据源，例如美国人口普查局调查数据、劳工统计局消费者价格指数、商业订阅租赁成本数据库、行业领先的在线租赁列表网站，以及来自军事服务和地方军事设施住房办公室的输入。BAH计算包括每个住房区六种不同类型住房单元的当前市场租金中位数和平均水电费。
政府问责局报告称国防部需要改进计算军队住房津贴的方法。国防部官员正在审查这些程序。
对于居住在私有化住房中的服役人员来说，他们的租金等于他们的BAH，因此他们的私有化住房房东将得到额外的钱。
国防部官员指出，今年的BAH费率继续按工资级别分摊全国平均住房成本的5%。官员们说，这些金额也因工资级别、抚养状况而异，2024年的金额从每月85美元到194美元不等。
2015年，国防部官员将他们支付给军人家庭的住房补贴金额从全成本减少到租金成本的95%，这是由基本住房补贴公式确定的。这项节约成本的措施得到了国会的授权，但并不是必需的。
US Department of Defense officials announced on Wednesday that the military's housing allowance will increase by an average of 5.4% in 2024.
The new housing basic subsidy interest rate will take effect on January 1st. According to officials from the Ministry of National Defense, the military will pay approximately $27.9 billion to around 1 million service members in 2024.
5.4% is a comprehensive average growth, but it does not mean that everyone will see this growth. The changes in BAH depend on the region, whether the service personnel have family members, and the salary level.
For example, the dependents of E5 with incomes of 28307 and 28310 will increase by approximately 9.2%. In this case, the monthly BAH increased from $1572 to $1716. For E5 in the same region without family members, the increase is 7.1%, and the monthly BAH has increased from $1389 to $1488.
The BAH in some areas may decrease, but the troops that continue to be stationed in these areas will not be punished - they will continue to receive the same amount as in 2023.

In the past few years, many military personnel have been heavily impacted by the government's increased housing costs. In 2023, the average growth rate was 12.1%, which is the largest year-on-year increase in basic housing subsidies in at least 15 years. This is one of the measures taken by officials of the Ministry of National Defense to alleviate the economic burden on service personnel.
BAH rates increase or decrease based on rental housing cost data for various types of homes, collected annually in over 300 military residential areas in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. The process of setting BAH rates includes various data sources, such as the U.S. Census Bureau survey data, the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, the commercial subscription rental cost database, the industry-leading online rental list website, and input from military services and local military facilities housing offices. The BAH calculation includes the current market median rent and average utility bills for six different types of housing units in each housing area.
The Government Accountability Office report states that the Ministry of National Defense needs to improve the method of calculating military housing allowances. Defense officials are reviewing these procedures.
For service personnel living in privatized housing, their rent is equal to their BAH, so their privatized housing landlords will receive additional money.
Officials from the Ministry of National Defense pointed out that this year's BAH rates will continue to share 5% of the national average housing cost based on salary levels. Officials said that these amounts also vary depending on salary level and upbringing status, with amounts ranging from $85 to $194 per month in 2024.
In 2015, officials from the Ministry of National Defense reduced the amount of housing subsidies they paid to military families from full cost to 95% of the rental cost, which was determined by the basic housing subsidy formula. This cost saving measure has been authorized by Congress, but it is not necessary.
