About Medicare Premium Calculator
Medicare costs add up across several pieces: the Part B premium, a Part D drug premium, and often a supplement that covers the gap between what Medicare pays and what providers charge. This tool adds those monthly amounts together and shows the combined monthly total and what it costs over the full year, so you can see the whole picture at once.
It is aimed at Medicare beneficiaries budgeting for the total cost of their coverage. Because it sums whatever specific amounts you enter rather than assuming national averages, the figure it reports matches your actual bills. You can leave any piece at zero if you do not have that particular cost, and the tool will sum only the amounts you actually pay.
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
Total Monthly = f(Part B Monthly Premium ($), Part D Monthly Premium ($), Supplement Monthly ($))
Calculated according to standard finance formulas implemented in the calculator core.
Calculation Example
With a Part B premium of $174.70, a Part D premium of $35, and a $150 supplement, the monthly total is 174.70 + 35 + 150 = $359.70. Over the year that is 359.70 x 12 = $4316.40. The tool reports $359.70 a month and $4316.40 a year.

- Lets you leave any piece at zero if you do not have that cost, so it sums only what you pay.
