If you have a Section 8 voucher
The voucher limit is not what the voucher pays. It is the most rent and utilities together can cost while you still pay only about 30% of your income.
If rent and utilities together cost the voucher limit or less, you pay about 30% of your income. Your 30% pays for your utilities and part of the rent. The housing office pays your landlord the part of the rent you don't pay.
- You earn $2,000 a month, so your 30% is $600. Rent and utilities cost $1,300, under the $1,500 voucher limit. You pay $600, and the housing office pays your landlord the other $700.
If rent and utilities together cost more than the voucher limit, you pay about 30% of your income plus every dollar above the voucher limit.
- You earn $2,000 a month, so your 30% is $600. Rent and utilities cost $1,600, which is $100 over the $1,500 voucher limit. You pay $600 plus $100, which is $700, and the housing office pays your landlord the other $900.
In this home, you pay only about 30% of your income if your utilities cost $152 a month or less.
