How it works
2027 subsidy questions, answered.
Your credit is the monthly cost of the benchmark plan (the second-lowest-cost silver plan where you live) minus your expected contribution, which is a set percentage of your household income. For 2027 that percentage runs from 2.15% to 10.22% of income, set by IRS Revenue Procedure 2026-26.
Yes. The enhanced subsidies that removed the cap expired after 2025, so for 2027, premium tax credits are generally limited to households with income from 100% to 400% of the federal poverty level.
Subsidies for 2027 coverage use the 2026 HHS poverty guidelines: $15,960 for one person in the 48 contiguous states and DC, plus $5,680 for each additional person. Alaska and Hawaii have higher guidelines.
Generally your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) for 2027, plus that of everyone in your tax household who is required to file a return. Use your best estimate of next year’s income.
