What is the 'Federal Poverty Level - FPL'. The federal poverty level (FPL) is the set minimum amount of gross income that a family needs for food, clothing, transportation, shelter and other necessities. In the United States, this level is determined by the Department of Health and Human Services. FPL varies according to family size.

The Department of Health and Human Services bases calculations for the federal poverty level on it. The Census Bureau's definition of poverty is a little complicated, though. First, it's based on pre-tax income.
