Military Pay CalculatorHow BAH at Tinker AFB compares (Oklahoma City, OK MHA)
This is one of the country's lower-cost military housing areas: 235th of 299 MHAs, with an E-5-with-dependents rate of $1,644/mo — 28.2% under the $2,289 national average. Lower BAH cuts both ways: the allowance is smaller, but it typically stretches further against local rents.
Within the state, this is the highest-rate MHA of 5; the lowest is Vance AFB/Enid, OK at $1,200/mo for the same E-5 — a $444 monthly spread that matters if you have any say in your assignment.
Across enlisted grades here, having dependents adds an average of $307/mo (22%) 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.
