Tip:

  • Family sizes in excess of 8 persons are calculated by adding 8% of the four-person income limit for each additional family member.
  • That is, a 9-person limit should be 140% of the 4-person limit, the 10-person limit should be 148%.
  • The income limit values for large households (9-12 persons) must be rounded to the nearest $50.
  • Therefore, all values from 1 to 24 are rounded down to 0, and all values from 25 to 49 are rounded up to 50.
