9. Select the state, select the county, click the button “View County Calculations”

10. Always begin at 1-4 people living in the house,  2 people always use 4, 3 people always use 4.. you get the idea, that’s why 4 is in bold as you begin there J
LOS ANGELES COUNTY here are sample income limits, LA County at min the income limit is 111,435 for 1 to 4 people in household
The 1-4 person household very low income is $48,450 x 2= $96,900 and if you multiply that number by 115% the result is $111,435 for a household of 1-4 persons.
The 6 person household very low income is $56,200 x 2 = $112,400 and if you multiply that number by 115% the result is $129,260 for a household of 6 persons.
The 8 person household very low income is $64,000 x 2 = $128,000 and if you multiply that number by 115% the result is $147,200for a household of 8 persons
