income limit
Maximum allowed earnings
An income limit is a threshold that determines eligibility for programs, benefits, or housing.
Government assistance, subsidized apartments, and certain tax credits set income limits—earn above them and you don't qualify: The income limit for the program is $50,000 for a family of four.
Some programs have upper and lower limits, creating income bands.
