Is this ICHRA offer affordable?

Enter the employee's county, age, household income and monthly allowance. You'll see whether the employee can turn the ICHRA down and use a premium tax credit instead. Find out before they choose.

Setting an allowance for a company? Use the employer calculator.

Your result shows here: whether the offer is affordable, what the employee would pay, and the allowance that would make it affordable.

How the numbers work

The test. An ICHRA is affordable when the employee's cost for the lowest-cost Silver plan, after the allowance, is no more than 10.22% of household income (2027 plan years).

The premium. The lowest-cost 2027 Silver plan sold on the exchange in the employee's county, for the employee alone, non-tobacco, from public CMS plan data for states that use HealthCare.gov.

Not included. Whether the household qualifies for a premium tax credit. That also depends on household size, income and other coverage.
