Data & Accuracy
ActivePayOS is an educational planning tool. The goal is to make military pay easier to understand while clearly separating official source data, estimates, and items that still require LES, myPay, DFAS, or finance-office verification.

What Is Verified
BAH Coverage

- With-dependent rate areas

- Without-dependent rate areas

- Non-standard mapped ZIPs
- 214
Some ZIPs in the official ZIP-to-MHA file map to non-standard codes that do not appear in the local BAH rate workbook. ActivePayOS flags those instead of inventing a rate.
Known Limits
- Federal withholding is not estimated yet.
- State income tax context is shown when a state is selected, but state withholding is not subtracted from pay totals yet.
- Special pays, bonuses, SGLI, allotments, debts, meal deductions, and TSP deductions are not included in the main pay total.
- Overseas housing, OHA, COLA, and some territory or non-standard ZIP cases may not use standard local BAH.
- Your LES, orders, myPay settings, DFAS, and official finance guidance control over any estimate shown here.
How To Use These Numbers
Treat ActivePayOS as a planning layer. Use it to understand the shape of your pay, catch obvious questions, and prepare for decisions. Before acting on a major financial choice, compare against your LES and official sources.
