Formula Used

The stimulus payment amount is calculated using the following formula:

Stimulus Payment = Base Amount + Dependent Amount

Where:

  • Base Amount = $1,400 for individuals, $2,800 for married couples
  • Dependent Amount = $1,400 per dependent (up to 3 dependents)

Income limits apply to eligibility. Households with income above certain thresholds may receive reduced or no payment.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Single Person with No Dependents

Income: $40,000

Dependents: 0

Calculation: $1,400 (base amount)

Result: $1,400 stimulus payment

Example 2: Married Couple with 2 Dependents

Income: $75,000

Dependents: 2

Calculation: $2,800 (base amount) + ($1,400 × 2) = $5,600

Result: $5,600 stimulus payment

Note: These examples assume income is below the eligibility thresholds. Higher-income households may receive reduced payments or none at all.
