Military Pay CalculatorHow BAH at Joint Base Langley-Eustis compares (Hampton/Newport News, VA MHA)
BAH here tracks closely with the national picture — an E-5 with dependents draws $2,274/mo against a national MHA average of $2,289 (123rd of 299 MHAs). Neither a windfall nor a squeeze; your allowance should roughly match the local rental market's middle.
Statewide, this ranks 6th of 8 MHAs — between Warrenton, VA ($3,066/mo, highest) and Lexington, VA ($1,536/mo, lowest) for an E-5 with dependents.
Across enlisted grades here, having dependents adds an average of $408/mo (23.2%) 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.
