Our MNsure estimator tool helps you calculate potential health insurance costs and subsidies based on your household information.
The MNsure estimator helps to estimate your health coverage options and potential subsidies under the MNsure system. Please provide the relevant information in the form above to get a more precise estimate of your eligible health coverage options and potential subsidies.
How to Use This Calculator
1. Enter your annual income. This should be the income for your entire household.
2. Enter your household size, including yourself, your spouse, and any dependents.
3. Input your ZIP code for a more region-specific estimate.
4. Enter your age.
5. Select your marital status from the dropdown.
6. Enter the number of dependents you have.
7. Indicate whether you have employer-provided health coverage.
How It Calculates the Results
This calculator uses the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) guidelines to estimate eligibility for subsidies. Your given income and household size are compared with the FPL. The results are also adjusted for regional factors based on your ZIP code and age. Marital status and dependents influence the calculations by altering the household dynamics and eligibility criteria. Employer coverage may disqualify or limit the eligibility for the marketplace subsidies.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides only an estimate. It uses general federal and state guidelines, and actual eligibility and subsidy amounts may vary based on individual circumstances, additional factors, and periodic changes in regulations. Always consult directly with a MNsure representative or visit the official MNsure website for precise and up-to-date information.
