Note: These are Honolulu County BAH rates (used for Schofield Barracks on Oʻahu). Always confirm your exact allowance using the official DoD BAH calculator.
Why Schofield BAH = Honolulu County BAH
Here’s the simple truth: Schofield Barracks is on Oʻahu, and the DoD sets BAH based on the local rental market for the duty location. On Oʻahu, that means your BAH is tied to Honolulu County, not a separate “Schofield-only” housing allowance.
So if you’re an E-8, your BAH is determined by your pay grade and whether you have dependents. You will see two different monthly amounts (with dependents vs without dependents), but you will not see different BAH just because you live closer to Schofield, Wheeler, Pearl Harbor, or Kaneohe. The housing market is the housing market, and the allowance follows the island, not the gate.
Real-life advice: for most E-8 families, the bigger decision is not the exact BAH number. It is where you want your day-to-day life to feel easiest. Some people want the shortest possible commute to Schofield. Others care more about schools, parking, yard space, or being closer to shopping, beaches, and weekend life. That is where the right neighborhood choice can make your BAH feel “tight” or feel very comfortable.
From what I see every week in real life, the “best” home for Schofield isn’t always the biggest, it’s the one that fits your commute, lifestyle, and monthly budget without stress.
