Educational Estimates Only
Section 8 Calculator provides educational estimates based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including Fair Market Rents (FMR), Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMR), and income limits. These estimates are intended to help users understand the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and are not official eligibility determinations.
Not a Government Agency
This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to HUD, any Public Housing Authority (PHA), any state or local housing agency, or any other government entity. We do not process applications, issue vouchers, or manage waiting lists.
No Guarantee of Accuracy
While we strive to keep our data current and accurate, HUD income limits and Fair Market Rents change annually, and local PHAs may apply additional rules, preferences, and payment standards that our calculator cannot account for. Actual eligibility, voucher amounts, and program rules may differ from the estimates shown on this site.
