How the dependency difference works
Every grade here pays more with dependents than without, by $387 to $666 a month. Having dependents is a yes or no question for BAH: a service member with four children draws the same as one with a spouse and none. Nothing else about the family changes the figure.
It also doesn't depend on what you actually pay for housing. If your rent comes in under the allowance you keep the difference, and if it runs over, the difference is yours to cover.
