A PHP library for working with data associated with the United States Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Household income, as a percentage of FPL is often used to determine eligibility for government assistance programs such as Medicaid.

More information about the Federal Poverty Limit can be found here.

$fpl = new FederalPovertyLevel();

$fpl->setYear(2014)
    ->setState('MO')
    ->setPersonsInHousehold(2)
    ->setHouseholdIncome(15000);


// Get Household's percentage of Federal Poverty Level
$percentageOfFpl = $fpl->getPovertyGuidelineAsPercentage(); // e.g. 50

// Get Household's percentage of Federal Poverty Level as decimal
$percentageOfFpl = $fpl->getPovertyGuidelineAsDecimal(); // e.g. 0.5

1. federalPovertyLevel is available on Packagist.
