1 The allowance figures shown in the table are the maximum allowances payable. The quarters allowance paid to each eligible government employee is either the amount of actual expenditures for rent and utilities or the allowance maximum, whichever is less.

2 The survey date is the month when the employee housing expenditure reports were received by the Office of Allowances. The effective date is the month when either (a) allowances were revised on the basis of employee housing expenditure reports, or (b) existing allowances were reviewed and found to be appropriate,

3 The exchange rate is the rate used to compute the quarters allowances as of the effective date.

4 Quarters allowances are computed for single persons and 2-person families. Employees with larger families living with them at post receive supplements of 10, 20, or 30 percent of the 2-person allowance (for families of 3 to 4 persons, 5 to 6 persons, or 7 or more persons, respectively).

5 The quarters allowances for Tokyo - To refer to housing in the Tokyo suburbs.
