Payment standard is the 90% to 110% band a housing authority can set. Income needed puts rent at 30% of gross income, and the hourly wage assumes a 40-hour week.
| Bedrooms | FMR | Payment standard | Income needed | Hourly wage | vs FY 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $1,205 | $1,085–$1,326 | $48,200 | $23.17/hr | +2.3% |

What a voucher pays here
The voucher doesn't pay the FMR itself. It pays the payment standard. Housing authorities set it anywhere from 90% to 110% of FMR, which puts a two-bedroom standard in Volusia somewhere between $1,530 and $1,870. The tenant pays roughly 30% of their income, the voucher covers the rest up to the standard, and the PHA won't approve a rent above what comparable unassisted units get.
$1,700 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $68,000 a year. Put another way, $33 an hour full time.
Worked example for a two-bedroom renting at the payment standard. The tenant pays 30% of monthly income and the voucher covers the rest.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | Voucher pays at 90%$1,530 | Voucher pays at 100%$1,700 | Voucher pays at 110%$1,870 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $780 | $950 | $1,120 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $330 | $500 | $670 |

About this rate
Fair Market Rent is HUD's estimate of what a modest, decent unit rents for in an area, utilities included. It's set once a year and runs October to September. For FY 2026 that's October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. In Volusia, that runs from $1,205 for a studio up to $2,429 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Volusia is its own HUD metro area (Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL), so the rate here is set from rents inside the county rather than a wider region.
Among Florida's 67 counties, Volusia ranks 23rd for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 16% above the state median of $1,471 and about 67% above the national median county at $1,018. About 558,520 people live here, 12th in the state.
