Income limits
1 of the 3 active Tresiba assistance programs we track caps household income. The lowest cutoff is $63,840 a year for a single person. Most programs publish their cutoff as a percent of the federal poverty level - here is what that means in dollars.
Household income at or below 400% of the federal poverty level:
| Household size | Annual income limit |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $63,840 |
| 2 people | $86,560 |
| 3 people | $109,280 |
| 4 people | $132,000 |
| Each additional person | + $22,720 |
Dollar amounts for percent-of-poverty caps are computed from the 2026 federal poverty guidelines for the 48 contiguous states and Washington, DC ($15,960 for one person, plus $5,680 for each additional household member). Alaska and Hawaii use higher figures. Each program makes the final eligibility decision - confirm on the official application linked above.
