Independent estimate — not HUD or PHA advice. voucherfig provides calculations from official HUD FY2026 data for planning purposes only. Your local Public Housing Agency (PHA) sets the actual payment standard, utility allowance, deductions, and eligibility, and may apply local preferences. Always confirm with your PHA before making housing decisions.
