Medicare Premium (IRMAA) Surcharge Predictor
About You
IRMAA thresholds differ for individuals and married couples filing jointly.
Your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)
Medicare uses your MAGI from two years prior to set your premium. So your 2025 premiums are based on your 2023 tax return. MAGI includes Social Security benefits, IRA withdrawals, capital gains, pension income, wages, and most other income.
Enter your best estimate. If unsure, use last year's tax return Line 11 (adjusted gross income) plus any tax-exempt interest.
Select all that apply — this helps identify planning opportunities.
Life Changes & Special Circumstances
If your income has dropped due to retirement, divorce, death of a spouse, or loss of pension — you may be able to appeal your IRMAA tier using a more recent income figure.
