  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Use the result with context

Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

A single filer with two qualifying children and 80,000 dollars of 2019 income has a simplified historical second-payment amount of 1,550 dollars.

Modeled payment = max(0, adult base + 600 per qualifying dependent − 5% of income above the filing threshold).

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • This is a dated historical numeric reconstruction. It does not establish personal eligibility, reopen a completed program or offer a current benefit.
  • The filing thresholds are 75,000 single, 150,000 married and 112,500 head of household. Five percent of excess income reduces the entire modeled payment.
  • Qualifying children in these first/second historical rounds generally had to be under age 17. Other tax-return, identity and dependent requirements are assumed.
  • The captured inactive 2018 formula is retained in the source data. Actual second advance payments generally used 2019 return information; this model cannot verify those procedural rules.
  • These formulas calculate results from entered inputs; a missing input can prevent a result.

Common questions

This is a dated historical numeric reconstruction. It does not establish personal eligibility, reopen a completed program or offer a current benefit.

What does the result leave out?

The captured inactive 2018 formula is retained in the source data. Actual second advance payments generally used 2019 return information; this model cannot verify those procedural rules.

References

Reviewed local arithmetic: Modeled payment = max(0, adult base + 600 per qualifying dependent − 5% of income above the filing threshold). Model input requirements: Qualifying dependents must be a nonnegative whole count. Income must be nonnegative.
