Your income as a percentage of the poverty line, the key to most programs.
Covers: fpl, poverty, guidelines, medicaid, subsidy threshold.
Open the Federal Poverty Level tool →Your household's poverty line is the HHS base amount for one person plus a fixed amount for each additional person, for your region (the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, or Hawaii). We divide your income by that line to get your percentage of the federal poverty level.
That percentage is the key to most programs: many cap Medicaid eligibility around 138% of FPL, and ACA marketplace subsidies generally apply from 100% to 400%.
