Check Your ACA Subsidy Eligibility

Premium tax credits are based on your household income relative to the federal poverty line -- many households qualify for some level of help, even ones that assume they make too much.

Is this right for you?

Your options

Full premium tax credit

Reduces your monthly premium directly, applied automatically to your plan.

Cost-sharing reduction

Available on Silver plans only, for eligible income levels -- lowers deductibles and copays, not just premium.

No subsidy, full-price plan

Still a real option for higher-income households -- Marketplace plans are available regardless of subsidy eligibility.

Common questions

What income counts toward the subsidy calculation?

Generally your household's Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) -- an agent can help you estimate this accurately, including for irregular income.

Is there an income cutoff where I can't get any help?

The rules have changed in recent years -- rather than assume you're over the line, it's worth having your actual numbers checked.

What happens if I estimate my income wrong?

You may owe money back or get additional credit when you file taxes, depending on whether your actual income was higher or lower than estimated -- reporting changes as they happen helps avoid a large reconciliation.
