Idaho: 2026 income limits & Fair Market Rents
Use this Idaho reference to find your next housing-help step. The statewide table below is background data, not the income cutoff for your address. Voucher rules use local limits and your family's details.
Check your county before using a statewide number
- Open the county income-limit checker. Choose Idaho, your county, and your family size.
- Compare the correct local row with your annual income. For example, a family of three should use its county's three-person row, not the statewide four-person figure.
- Ask a Idaho housing office which limit applies, what income counts, and whether it is accepting applications. Being under a limit does not guarantee a voucher.
Already have a voucher? Ask your housing office for its payment standard and rent-share calculation before signing a lease.
Statewide income reference — not your local eligibility cutoff
State median family income: $101,600. These statewide, unadjusted tiers are reference figures. HUD's local limits include adjustments; do not calculate a personal eligibility limit by multiplying the state median. Source check: 2026-07-20 source
