USDA Loans PA: Income Limits 2023

Are you looking for the USDA income limitations for counties in Pennsylvania? Look no further; they're right here. Do you have a yearly income that exceeds these limits? These income restrictions may be "adjusted" under the USDA Loan program.

Eligibility income comprises any income received by the applicant and co-applicant (wage, tips, bonus, overtime, alimony, child support, and so on) (s). The qualifying ratios are calculated using this income.

USDA loan income restrictions vary by state, metropolitan statistical area (MSA), and family size, with a national base income limit.

The Pennsylvania base USDA income limits are:

1-4 member households increased to $103,500
5-8 member household increased to $136,600*

There are several exceptions to the general income restrictions, most notably in the MSA areas. The MSAs are continuous geographic regions with a relatively high human population density, and the MSA may encompass many neighboring counties.

The USDA home-loan program often has more significant income restrictions in the MSA.

USDA Income Adjustments:

The gross annual income can be adjusted with the following:

Each minor child under 18 years of age - subtract $480 per child
Each disabled or handicapped individual who is not the applicant or co- applicant - subtract $480 for each disabled or handicapped individual
Each full-time student 18 years or older - subtract $480 for each full-time student
Each elderly (62 years of age or older) or disabled applicant - subtract $400 for each elderly (62 years of age or older)
Medical expenses for any elderly family member - Total that exceeds 3% of gross annual income
Child care expenses for children 12 years old or under - Actual cost of care, supported by full documentation of cost
