Modest Income
The following table provides a guideline to determine what is considered a modest income. In general, a modest income means the total family income is less than or equal to the amount shown in the chart below, based on the size of the family.

4 people | $50,000 |

More than 5 people | $52,500, plus $2,500 for each additional person |
Family size includes an individual, or a couple, and their dependants.

- employment
- pension
- benefits, such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, disability insurance, employment insurance, and social assistance
