The Defense Department publishes the rates. Finding your BAH or your TSP contribution limit was never the hard part.
The hard part is what to do with them: whether to house-hack on that allowance, whether the Survivor Benefit Plan beats term life for your family, whether an aggressive payoff is worth what it costs you elsewhere. These six tools are built around those decisions.
Models whether buying and house-hacking on your Basic Allowance for Housing beats renting for the length of a typical tour — including the costs most calculators leave out when you PCS out.
Checks that you capture the full BRS government match, paces contributions so you don't max out early and lose months of it, and compares Traditional against Roth on a military career timeline rather than a civilian one.
Compares SBP premiums and payouts against self-insuring with term life, using your own retirement date and pension. The government's own page states the rules; it cannot tell you whether to enrol.
Sequences your payoffs and shows how each one moves the debt-to-income ratio a VA or conventional lender underwrites you on — so you can see which single payment unlocks the approval.
Sizes an emergency fund against the risks that are specific to military life — PCS timing gaps, deployment, spouse employment interruption, and the runway you need at separation.
Models an all-out debt-elimination run against a steadier one, and prices the opportunity cost — because the fastest payoff and the best financial outcome are not always the same plan.
Service members already have a free financial counselor available through Military OneSource and every Family Readiness Center. Charging for a calculator would be charging for the easy part.
These tools stay free and unmetered. Nothing here is investment advice, and none of it is tailored to your individual situation — it is education, built to be argued with. If you want someone to look at your actual numbers with you, that is what coaching is for.
