The outlines of a third stimulus check for up to $1,400 per individual are being worked out over the next few weeks in Congress, but if you want to see how much you could expect to receive with the third payment, we can help now.

Congress is on track to approve President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package by mid-March, using a congressional budgeting tool that will bypass Republican’s expected opposition to the popular bill. If Congress keeps to its schedule, those who qualify for a payment could see the next stimulus check in their bank accounts by the end of March. Some of the eligibility requirements have already changed dramatically — from citizenship and the number of dependents to individual and family income caps. More could change between now and that March date, but we know enough now to help calculate your total share in the next payment.

To help you quickly estimate the total you may be eligible to receive, we’ve updated our stimulus check calculator based on the most recent version of the bill (PDF). Here’s more information on how you could potentially get a significantly larger third stimulus check, as well as how it’s possible to get less money or even nothing. We also illustrate how a shift in the stimulus formula could affect your total share. And here’s how a third check during tax time could play out. This story is updated frequently with new information.

Use this stimulus check calculator for a ‘targeted’ $1,400 payment

Based the latest House bill (PDF), some qualifications used to determine the amount you could receive with the first two checks — including how much money you and your family can earn a year to get the full $1,400 — will look familiar. Other qualifications will be new, however, such as a hard cap to receive any money at all. Our calculator tool will give you an idea of the amount you can expect. The stimulus calculator won’t store or use your data. Since our calculations are based on the most recent House proposal, it could change again before becoming law.

Here’s who would get the full amount under this House proposal, based on your adjusted gross income, or AGI, and when you would completely phase out of receiving a payment. As an individual or couple’s income goes up, the size of the partial payment would get smaller.

How eligibility rule changes may affect stimulus calculations

New with Biden’s proposal, all dependents would qualify for a $1,400 payment. Also new: The upper income limit is a hard cap. Above the income ceiling, you no longer qualify for any stimulus money, including for your dependents. With the first two checks, you could hit the cap and still receive money for a dependent.

Expanding qualifications to dependents of any age would make approximately 13.5 million more adult dependents count toward their household total, according to The People’s Policy Project. Biden’s proposal also looks to include families with mixed citizenship status; that is, where at least one family member is a US citizen.
