How the RAP formula works

RAPlan estimates monthly payment as: AGI multiplied by the RAP bracket rate, divided by 12, minus $50 per dependent. The result is never lower than $10 per month.

AGI brackets

RAP uses income brackets from a flat $10 payment up to 10% for income above $100,000.

Dependent deduction

Each dependent lowers the monthly payment by $50 before the minimum payment is applied.

$10 minimum

If the bracket formula and deductions fall below $10, the estimated monthly payment is $10.
