About the Rent & Income Limit Calculator©:

  • • This program will calculate IRS Section 42(i)(3)(A) low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) rent and income limits for every county and for every Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States.
  • • It provides the HUD sourced 30%, Very Low (50%), and Low (80%) income limits for the selected county.
  • • It automatically calculates the LIHTC Rent and Income Limits for any selected percentage of the Area Median Income (AMGI) for the selected county.
  • • Users can choose which bedroom sizes are displayed (the default setting displays results for all bedroom sizes).
  • • Users can choose which income or rent levels are displayed on the 12 year historical charts.

Other Features Include:

  • • The ability to display the Fair Market Rent (FMRs), as determined by HUD. FMRs are used to determine the eligibility of rental housing units for the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Section 8 Rental Certificate program participants cannot rent units whose rents exceed the FMRs.
  • • A section for user to input allowances by bedroom type, so that LIHTC rents are shown before and after deduction of utility allowance;
  • • The ability to see average percentage income and rent increase over last 12 years; and
  • • The ability to display 140% income limits for purposes of the next available unit rule based on the 50% or 60% HUD income limits depending on minimum set aside chosen.
