Formula Used

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

Where:

• Annual Premium - The total cost of the insurance plan for one year
• Annual Medical Expenses - Your estimated healthcare costs for the year
• Coverage Percentage - The percentage of medical expenses covered by the plan

This formula helps you understand the trade-off between premium costs and out-of-pocket expenses for different plans.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example with a family of four:

• Annual premium: $8,400
• Annual medical expenses: $12,000
• Coverage percentage: 80%

Using the formula:

This means the family would pay $3,100 per month for this health insurance plan.
