OCOLA Changes 2023

The DOD implemented the second phase of OCOLA decreases November 15, 2023. Service members in affected OCONUS locations will see the decreases in their December 1, 2023, paychecks.

Overseas Cost-of-Living Allowance is a non-taxable allowance designed to ensure service members assigned to a permanent duty station outside of the United States maintain an equivalent level of purchasing power as their counterparts stationed in the U.S. OCOLA calculations are based on a comparison to prices in the U.S. as well as a myriad of factors to include rank, time in service and number of dependents. If U.S. prices rise at a rate greater than overseas prices, OCOLA may decrease. Additionally, OCOLA may increase if overseas prices rise at a rate greater than U.S. prices.
