Self Sufficiency
Calculator
This calculator is based on the Self Sufficiency Standard, which measures how much income is needed for a family of a given composition - one person household to large family size - in a given place, to adequately meet its basic needs without any public or private assistance.
When people have this information they can make employment
and education plans that will lead to jobs that pay enough
to support their families and apply for the supports they
need as they work toward these goals.
Here are several ways the Self-Sufficiency Calculator
can help you:
- Determine what wage you need to earn to cover your basic household expenses.
- Test if a job you are considering will pay enough to meet your family's needs.
- Determine if you are eligible for public benefits that can help with expenses like health care or child care.
- Develop career planning goals so you can work towards a better paying job.
