What Is IRMAA?
IRMAA stands for Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. If your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds certain thresholds, Medicare charges you a surcharge on top of the standard Part B and Part D premiums. IRMAA is based on your tax return from two years ago (2024 income for 2026 premiums). Use this calculator to see if you owe extra and how much.
📋 Filing Status
💡 IRMAA uses your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) from your IRS tax return filed 2 years prior. For 2026 premiums, Social Security uses your 2024 tax return.

⚖️ Had a Life-Changing Event? You May Qualify for a Reduction
If your income has dropped since the tax year used for IRMAA (2024 for 2026 premiums), you can request a reconsideration using SSA Form SSA-44. Qualifying events include:
Marriage, divorce, or death of a spouse
Retirement or reduction in work hours
Loss of income-producing property (sale, disaster)
Loss of pension income
Employer settlement payment ended
Contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local SSA office with Form SSA-44 and proof of the life-changing event.
