Calculating Area Median Income

5. Calculating Area Median Income: Primary Method
• Pull the number from the
“Median Family Income”
column (outlined in red) or
double the “Very Low
Income Limits” number; take
the higher value
• Multiply the above number
by
• 115% for Soft Second
• 135% for Rate Advantage
Example: $69,100 x 115% =
$79,465
Note: Pick the method that
will best match your
borrower to their desired
program.

6. Calculating Area Median Income: Alternative Method
• Locate the correct family size
in the “Persons in Family”
column (if above 4)
• Use the “Very Low (50%)
Income Limits” row
• Find the correct income limit
• Multiply that number by two,
then by
• 115% for Soft Second
• 135% for Rate Advantage
Example, using a family of 6:
$40,100 x 2 = $80,200 x 115% =
$92,230
Note: Pick the method that will
best match your borrower to
their desired program!
