The stimulus payment is calculated using this formula:

Stimulus Payment Formula

Payment = (Household Size × $600) + ($600 for each dependent)

Maximum payment = $1,400 per household

Households with incomes below $75,000 are eligible for the full payment. Higher-income households receive reduced payments.

  • Be a US citizen or resident alien
  • Have filed a 2019 or 2020 tax return

  • Not have filed for bankruptcy in the past 3 years

Certain groups, including undocumented immigrants and some non-resident aliens, are not eligible.

Household Size Payment Amount
1 person $1,400
2 people $2,800
3 people $4,200
4 people $5,600
5+ people $7,000

Payments are reduced for households with incomes above $75,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my stimulus check?

The IRS began sending stimulus checks in March 2021. If you haven't received yours, check your bank account and wait for additional mailings. You can also track your payment status on the IRS website.

What if my income is above $75,000?

Households with incomes above $75,000 receive reduced payments. The IRS uses a sliding scale to determine the exact amount based on your adjusted gross income.

Can I get a stimulus check if I didn't file taxes?

No, you must have filed a 2019 or 2020 tax return to be eligible for the stimulus payment. The IRS uses your tax records to determine eligibility.

What if I'm not a US citizen?

Non-citizens and undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible for the stimulus payment. The IRS has specific rules for resident aliens and other non-citizens.
