Are you preparing to transfer on military orders to Hawaii?  Here is the link to figure out your Hawaii Overseas Cost of Living Allowance will be…..Hawaii COLA Calculator.

Your Army assignment to Hawaii is considered an Overseas Tour in accordance with AR 614-30 just as if you were PCS’ing to Europe or Korea.  You will be entitled to an Overseas Service Ribbon (OSR) in accordance with AR 600-8-22.

The Cost of Living Allowance, or COLA amounts can be found by doing a query at the Overseas COLA Website.

When you use the query to figure out your COLA, remeber that the amounts you will see are based on roughly a two week period of either the beginning of the month or the end of the month.  Since the months of the year have either 28,29,30 or 31 days, the COLA amounts will vary each month.

Your Hawaii Overseas COLA will also be based on your pay grade, years of service, number of dependents and the island in which you reside.  There are a few military servicemembers living on other islands but for the most part, most service members are stationed on Oahu at:

Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Pearl Harbor, Hickam AFB, Marine Corps Base Kaneohe, Camp H.M. Smith or Tripler Army Medical Center
