Section 8 rent calculator
Estimate how a Housing Choice Voucher splits rent between the housing authority (the HAP) and the tenant. The local housing authority makes the final calculation.
How the voucher split works
The total tenant payment (TTP) is the higher of 30% of adjusted monthly income or 10% of gross monthly income. The housing assistance payment is the lower of the payment standard or gross rent, minus the TTP. For a new lease, if gross rent is above the payment standard, the tenant's share can't exceed 40% of adjusted monthly income.
Simplified estimate. Exclusions, deductions and minimum rents vary; HUD and your public housing authority make the actual determination.
