How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Household Size — include yourself, all dependents living with you, and the immigrant being sponsored.
  2. Set Sponsor Annual Income and Qualifying Assets (savings, stocks, real estate equity).
  3. Indicate if you are Active Duty Military — the income threshold is 100% of FPL vs. 125% for civilians.
  4. Review Required Income to see the 125% federal poverty level threshold for your household size (based on 2026 FPL guidelines — $15,960 base + $5,680 per additional person).
  5. Check Meets Income Requirement and Meets With Assets — assets can supplement income shortfalls.
  6. If you don't meet the threshold alone, a joint sponsor (who files their own I-864) is required.
