How the work calculator works

Estimate how an hourly wage and weekly hours affect monthly income and SSDI/SSI work-rule risk. Figures default to 2026 federal limits. The default view uses gross income (no tax estimate) and shows the 30% AMI threshold for HCV planning. The hard HCV cap is generally 50% AMI.
