Medicaid Income Limits (2026)

This page lists the annual household income limit, in dollars, for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in each state and the District of Columbia. Each limit applies to a household of three people. It equals the state’s eligibility level, shown as a percentage on the Medicaid eligibility page, multiplied by the 2026 federal poverty guideline of $27,320 for a household of three.¹

Limits for other household sizes are higher. The Medicaid calculator estimates eligibility for a specific household.
