Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your total health care costs:

Total Health Care Costs = (Annual Income × Insurance Coverage Factor) + Additional Out-of-Pocket Expenses

The insurance coverage factor accounts for the percentage of medical expenses typically covered by your insurance plan. For example, a 70% coverage factor would mean your insurance covers 70% of eligible expenses.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the estimated health care costs for a person with an annual income of $50,000, who has a health insurance plan covering 80% of eligible expenses, and has additional out-of-pocket expenses of $2,000.

Total Health Care Costs = ($50,000 × 0.8) + $2,000 = $40,000 + $2,000 = $42,000

This example shows that the total estimated health care costs for this individual would be $42,000 in 2020.
