Income Limit Table
For Vermont Households Eligible for Efficiency Vermont’s Income-Based Programs
Household income is defined as the total annual gross income of all family and non-family members living within the household.
To calculate income, take the monthly amount from the last one to two paychecks for yourself and the people in your household (before taxes) and multiply by 12. Include all wages including regular salaries and overtime. If you are self-employed, use the previous month of pretax income and multiply by 12.
All sources of income must be counted from all persons in the household based on anticipated income expected within the next 12 months.
Possible types of income include but are not limited to: wages, salary, tips, bonuses or commissions payments, public assistance, social security/SSI, child support, regular gifts, unemployment, income earned on assets (Savings, IRA, etc.) and some types of financial aid.
