Confused by all the different plans and what you may or may not qualify for in terms of tax subsidies and credits. try the Marketplace Calculator to find out.
Not sure you want to commit to an application for insurance through the insurance marketplace? We understand and have a tool which might be useful to you to see what you might qualify for in advance of submitting an actual application online for healthcare coverage.
Its called the “Health Insurance Marketplace Calculator” and it works pretty well.
The Health Insurance Marketplace Calculator provides estimates of health insurance premiums and subsidies for people purchasing insurance on their own in health insurance exchanges (or “Marketplaces”) created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
With this calculator, you can enter your income, age, and family size to estimate your eligibility for subsidies and how much you could spend on health insurance. You can also use this tool to estimate your eligibility for Medicaid. As eligibility requirements may vary by state, please contact your state’s Medicaid office or Marketplace with enrollment questions.
We encourage other organizations to feature the calculator on their websites using the embed instructions.
