    2025-26 Income Level Guidelines for Financial Help

    Expanded benefits available to Minnesotans only through MNsure have been extended by Congress for three years, through 2025.

    The table below shows what financial help you may qualify for depending on household size and income. (The previous year's income guidelines are available here.)

    • The income limits for Medical Assistance are for coverage from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
    • The income limits for MinnesotaCare are for 2025 coverage.
    • Premium tax credits for 2025 private health plans through MNsure can be estimated using our estimator tool. Under the extended tax credits, any household with income above 200% of the federal poverty guidelines may potentially qualify for a tax credit, but there is an income amount at which the tax credit will be $0.

    The 2025 income guidelines are available to download as PDFs in English, Hmong, Russian, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese.

    These income guidelines are approximate and for informational use only. You will need to complete an application to determine your actual eligibility.
