How the Calculator Works
Our 3D calculator uses the official SNAP calculation formula:
- Determines maximum income limits based on household size
- Subtracts allowable deductions from gross income
- Applies the 30% net income adjustment
- Compares result to maximum benefit amounts
Understanding SNAP Calculations
The calculation process involves three main steps:
1. Income Eligibility
Most households must meet both gross and net income tests:
- Gross income ≤ 130% of poverty line
- Net income ≤ 100% of poverty line
2. Allowable Deductions
Common deductions include:
- 20% earned income deduction
- Standard deduction ($193 for 2023)
- Dependent care costs
3. Benefit Calculation
Final benefits = Maximum benefit for household size − 30% of net income
Important Considerations
- Benefits are adjusted annually for cost of living
- Some states have different deduction amounts
- Asset limits may apply in some cases
- Elderly/disabled applicants have different requirements
Note: This calculator provides estimates only. Actual benefit determinations must be made by your local SNAP office. Always consult official sources for eligibility determinations.
