How the Marketplace Subsidy Works

The Marketplace Health Insurance Subsidy is a premium tax credit that helps eligible individuals and families afford health insurance coverage. The amount of your subsidy depends on your income, household size, and the cost of the silver plan in your area.

For 2025, the maximum income limit for a single person is $53,300, and for a family of four it's $117,700. If your income exceeds these limits, you may not qualify for a subsidy.

Live in a state that participates in the Marketplace
Not have access to affordable employer-sponsored coverage
Not be eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP

How the Subsidy is Calculated

The subsidy amount is based on your income, household size, and the cost of the silver plan in your area. The formula used is:

Subsidy Amount = (Monthly Premium Tax Credit × 0.0946) × 12
