Formula Used

Where:

• Annual Healthcare Expenses - Your estimated annual medical costs
• Deductible - The amount you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance starts covering costs
• Health Plan Coverage Percentage - The percentage of your medical expenses covered by your insurance plan

This formula helps you understand how much your health insurance is actually saving you compared to paying for healthcare expenses out-of-pocket.

Worked Example

Let's look at a practical example to illustrate how the health benefits calculator works. Suppose you have the following details:

• Annual salary: $75,000
• Health plan type: PPO
• Estimated annual healthcare expenses: $12,000
• Deductible: $1,500
• Health plan coverage percentage: 80%

Using the formula:

This means your health insurance is saving you approximately $2,100 annually. The calculator would display this result along with a breakdown of the calculation and a comparison chart.
