Income

What is your total MONTHLY household income before taxes?

Please include the total MONTHLY income for all adults (over the age of 18) in your household who earn money. Use the amount before taxes and other deductions are taken out (this is called "gross income"). Include all sources (wages, child support, gifts, social security, disability, etc.) Whole dollar amounts only -- no decimals, no commas, no spaces.

Example:
If you make $3,000 a month before taxes, and your spouse or partner makes $4,000 a month before taxes, your total monthly household income would be entered as 7000.

You can check your paystub(s) to find your gross income.
