Formula and Assumptions
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate monthly premiums:
Monthly Premium = (Annual Salary × Premium Rate) × (1 + Employee Contribution Percentage)
Where:
- Premium Rate is determined by Dartmouth's published tables based on salary tier
- Employee Contribution Percentage is the portion you pay (typically 0% for single coverage, higher for family plans)
Assumptions
- Standard deductible and out-of-pocket maximum amounts are based on Dartmouth's current plans
- Premium rates are based on 2023 data and may change annually
- Calculations are estimates and not guaranteed
Worked Example
Let's calculate estimated costs for a Dartmouth employee with:
- Annual salary: $75,000
- Employee contribution: 25%
- Coverage level: Family
Based on Dartmouth's premium tables, a $75,000 salary falls in the 70-79% of median salary tier with a premium rate of 0.045.
Monthly Premium = ($75,000 × 0.045) × 1.25 = $393.75
This example shows an estimated monthly premium of $393.75 for family coverage.

| Coverage Level | Deductible | Out-of-Pocket Max |
|---|---|---|
| Single | $1,500 | $6,000 |
