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.

To receive a stimulus check, you must:

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

The stimulus payment amounts vary based on household size:

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.

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.
