SSI in Montana
Who is near the 2026 SSI income screen? Figures below use the 2026 poverty guideline of $33,000 for a household of four in Montana, unless the program uses its own dollar table.
Montana has no metro in the top 100 population ranking, so this page stays on statewide rules.
Montana taxes wages at rates up to 5.65%. Combined state and local sales tax is 0.0%. The ACS effective property tax rate is 0.69%.
A household of four with $48,000 of income is about 145 percent of the $33,000 poverty guideline and is unlikely for SSI. Unlikely — SSI needs age 65 or a disability.
