Using these numbers on a rental
The FMR sets the range for voucher payments; it is not a rent estimate for your unit. A housing agency picks a payment standard between 90% and 110% of it, then checks your asking rent against similar unassisted units nearby. Both figures cover rent plus utilities, so the agency's allowance for any utilities the tenant pays comes off the top.
Take a 2-bedroom at $1,016, a payment standard at 100% of FMR, and a $150 utility allowance (an example; each agency publishes its own schedule). Then the voucher can cover a contract rent of up to $866 ($1,016 minus $150), with the tenant paying the usual 30% of income. How to underwrite with FMR works through the rest.
