Estimate the monthly benefit.
Enter countable net income after the agency’s allowed deductions. This is a benefit estimate, not an eligibility test. Standard federal rules use maximum allotment minus 30% of net income, rounded up. Minimum benefits and state categorical eligibility require the agency calculation.

SNAP questions.
Will I receive the maximum?
The maximum assumes no countable net income. The agency usually subtracts 30% of net income after allowed deductions, and minimum-benefit rules may apply.
Are these state eligibility limits?
They are the federal baseline. Broad-based categorical eligibility can change a state’s gross-income and resource screens.
When do rates change?
The annual fiscal-year table generally takes effect October 1. Temporary legislation and emergency supplements can change other periods.
Do Alaska and Hawaii have different maximums?
Yes. Hawaii has a separate table; Alaska has urban, rural 1 and rural 2 amounts.
Can this calculator approve my application?
No. The state agency decides eligibility and benefits using its rules and verified household information.
