Work it out yourself
Three small tools that run entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is transmitted, stored, or visible to us — close the tab and it is gone.
Program navigator
Answer five questions about your household and situation. You get a reading list of the topic hubs most relevant to you — not an eligibility determination.
Open toolHousehold income calculator
Applications ask for monthly or annual income. Paychecks come hourly, weekly, or every two weeks. This converts between them and compares the result against any limit you enter.
Open toolDocument checklist builder
Pick the programs you are looking into and get one combined, printable checklist of the paperwork they typically request.
Open toolThese tools do not determine eligibility
No tool on this site can tell you whether you will be approved for anything. Eligibility is decided by the agency administering each program, using rules that vary by state and change regularly. These tools organize information and do arithmetic — that is all.
