PCS Calculator is a free online tool that provides estimated costs and reimbursements for U.S. military Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves. The Service includes the PCS move calculator and a set of related entitlement calculators covering housing, travel, tax and retirement questions; reference tables for weight allowances, per diem, DLA and overseas rates; installation guides; resource directories; and informational blog articles.
All calculations, figures, and recommendations provided by this Site are estimates only and are not official guidance from the Department of Defense (DoD), any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), or the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO).
Calculator results are based on publicly available Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) figures, standard mileage rates, and weight allowance tables. These figures are subject to change, and actual entitlements may differ based on your specific orders, branch of service, duty station, and individual circumstances.
Before making financial decisions related to your PCS move, you should verify all entitlements with your unit's Transportation Office (TO), Finance Office, or by consulting the official Joint Travel Regulations at travel.dod.mil.
We make no representation that the calculator results are accurate, complete, or current. We are not responsible for any financial decisions made based on calculator output. PCS Calculator is an independent, privately operated website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government agency.
