FAQ
Why do I paste the rate myself?
BAH tables are official, location-specific, and updated yearly. A static page cannot mirror them.
What about BAS?
Basic Allowance for Subsistence is a separate food allowance with its own tables.
Does the dependents toggle change the math?
No. It labels your row choice; you still paste the rate from the correct table line.
