Check your income

What you type stays on your device. It is never sent or saved.

How this works

  1. Household size sets your limit. Every person who will live with you counts — adults, kids and babies. More people means a higher limit.
  2. We turn your income into a yearly total. Monthly income is multiplied by 12. Use income before taxes for everyone in the home.
  3. We compare it with the 2026 limits for 1 person:
    • 30% of area income: $24,000 or less — extremely low income, often gets priority
    • 50% of area income: $39,950 or less — the usual limit for a voucher
    • 80% of area income: $63,950 or less — may qualify for other affordable housing

Estimate only, not an approval. Sarasota's waiting list is closed right now. The housing authority makes the final decision.
