What changed

October 1, 2026. FY 2027 SNAP allotments and deductions took effect. This estimator uses that table, including the $229 standard deduction for four people in the 48 states and D.C.
August 25, 2026. FNS updated the FY 2027 utility-allowance memo. It did not include amounts we could read, so heating allowances stay on the FY 2026 file and are labeled that way.
August 18, 2026. FNS updated the page for the FY 2026 standard utility allowance table.
