Bedroom requirement = f(pay grade, dependent count)
HRMA Floor Requirement Formula
Bedroom entitlement is determined by the DoD housing standards matrix mapping pay grade and dependent count to minimum bedroom requirement.
FloorReq(g,b) = max(Current, Pipeline, Inbound, Turnover)
Where g = pay grade, b = bedroom count. The floor requirement takes the maximum across all demand components to ensure adequate housing capacity.
