What is a PCS entitlement calculator?

A PCS entitlement calculator helps military service members estimate allowances during a Permanent Change of Station move, including DLA, TLE, MALT, and PPM incentives based on current JTR rates.

What is DLA (Dislocation Allowance)?

DLA is a Dislocation Allowance paid to help offset relocation costs during a PCS move. The amount varies by rank and dependent status, ranging from approximately $1,900 to $5,700 for 2026.

What is a PPM (DITY) move?

A PPM (Personally Procured Move), formerly DITY move, is when you move household goods yourself instead of using government movers. You receive an incentive payment based on weight moved and distance.
