How the ACA Subsidy Works

1

Determine FPL Tier

Your income is compared to the Federal Poverty Guidelines to find your exact FPL percentage.

2

Cap Contribution

Federal law caps your health insurance cost to between 0% and 8.5% of your household income.

3

Apply Tax Credit

The difference between the benchmark plan cost and your capped contribution is paid as a subsidy.
