What is the NYC HPD payment standard?

NYC HPD's published 2-bedroom payment standards, effective January 1, 2024, range from $3,027 to $4,543 across 284 ZIP codes (source: HPD 2024 Payment Standards and Exception Payment Standards (PDF)). A payment standard is the maximum monthly amount NYC HPD uses to calculate a voucher's housing assistance for a given unit size. NYC HPD chooses its payment standards, and HUD rules (24 CFR 982.503) normally require them to fall between 90% and 110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the area (the metro-wide FMR, or ZIP-level Small Area FMRs where the authority uses them) — the "basic range". An authority can go above 110% only with an exception payment standard approved by HUD or allowed by HUD notice.

What are NYC HPD's utility allowances for 2026?

NYC HPD's current utility allowances took effect on February 1, 2026 (source: HPD Subsidy and Payment Standards). For a 2-bedroom, the allowance for a single utility ranges from $25 to $177 a month. Add the allowance for each utility you pay yourself. The total is added to the contract rent, and that gross rent is what is compared with the payment standard, so a unit with tenant-paid utilities needs a lower rent to fit.

Why might NYC HPD's published amounts differ from the HUD figures on this page?

The figures here are HUD's FY2027 (effective Oct 1, 2026) Small Area FMRs. NYC HPD sets its own amounts as a percentage of these (anywhere in the 90–110% basic range), and it adopts new amounts on its own schedule. When new HUD figures would put its payment standards outside the basic range, HUD rules require the authority to revise them within three months of the new figures taking effect. Always use NYC HPD's own published schedule for your actual voucher amount.

Where can I find NYC HPD's official payment standard schedule?

NYC HPD publishes its schedule on its website: HPD payment standards and exception payment standards by ZIP code. If you have a voucher, your briefing packet or caseworker can also confirm the amount for your unit size and ZIP code.

Does a higher payment standard mean the voucher pays more of my rent?

It raises the ceiling. The housing assistance payment is the lower of the payment standard or the unit's gross rent (rent plus tenant-paid utilities), minus your total tenant payment — usually about 30% of adjusted monthly income (24 CFR 982.505). If a unit's gross rent is above the payment standard, you pay the difference, and at initial lease-up your share can't exceed 40% of adjusted monthly income.

Why do the amounts change by ZIP code?

HUD publishes Small Area FMRs for each ZIP code in NYC HPD's area rather than one figure for the whole metro area. Some authorities are required to use them and others may choose to; where an authority uses them, its payment standards vary by ZIP too, so higher-rent neighborhoods get higher ceilings. Check NYC HPD's schedule for the ZIP of the unit, not where you live now.
