Military Pay CalculatorHow BAH at Fort Riley compares (Fort Riley, KS MHA)
This is one of the country's lower-cost military housing areas: 289th of 299 MHAs, with an E-5-with-dependents rate of $1,314/mo — 42.6% under the $2,289 national average. Lower BAH cuts both ways: the allowance is smaller, but it typically stretches further against local rents.
This is the lowest-rate MHA of the 4 in the state; the highest, Fort Leavenworth, KS, pays the same E-5 $501 more per month.
Across enlisted grades here, having dependents adds an average of $321/mo (25.3%) to the allowance. The with/without-dependents gap is set per location, so it differs from base to base — use the tables above for your exact grade.
Comparisons computed from the official 2026 BAH rate file across all 299 market-priced MHAs (county cost groups excluded). Benchmark grade: E-5 with dependents.
