HouseholdCompares premiums, networks, prescriptions and total cost—not premium alone.

This is a comparison tool, not a tax-credit or eligibility determination. Marketplace savings depend on household income, tax filing status, family composition, the employer offer and current rules. Never drop existing coverage until replacement coverage is confirmed.

Family affordability + employer funding

Family Glitch & Family Budget Calculator

Test employee-only and family coverage separately, then establish a clear monthly budget for the employee, spouse and each dependent.

How to read the result

The calculator tests employee-only and family costs separately using the stated affordability assumption. Final Marketplace eligibility depends on current law and household facts.

Possible split strategy
The employee may keep employer coverage while a spouse or dependents explore Marketplace plans.

Set the family budget

Enter the employer-funded monthly amount for each coverage unit. The dependent amount is applied to each child.

ALE guardrailFor applicable large employers, affordability is evaluated using the employee's required contribution for self-only coverage. ALEs must generally offer coverage to full-time employees and their dependent children under age 26; a spouse is not a dependent for this rule. Federal rules do not set a specific minimum employer dollar contribution for dependents, so any “nominal” dependent amount shown here is a design choice that must be reviewed with the plan administrator and counsel.

Optional 3:1 age-banded illustration

Model an illustrative contribution schedule in which the oldest age band's amount does not exceed three times the youngest age band's amount.
