What a voucher pays here
The FMR isn't the check you'd receive. Your local housing authority turns it into a payment standard, set between 90% and 110% of FMR, so a two-bedroom here lands between $1,096 and $1,340. Subtract about 30% of the tenant's income and that's the housing assistance payment. If you ask more than similar unassisted units rent for, the PHA's rent reasonableness check will push back.
At the standard 30% of income, a household needs about $48,720 a year to afford $1,218 a month. On a 40-hour week that's $23 an hour.
Worked example for a two-bedroom, assuming the rent equals the payment standard. Tenant pays 30% of monthly income, HUD's housing assistance payment covers the rest.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | HAP at 90% ($1,096) | HAP at 100% ($1,218) | HAP at 110% ($1,340) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $346 | $468 | $590 |
