Good to know: Scope: the 2026 income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) that people with higher incomes pay on top of their Medicare Part B premium and Part D (drug coverage) premium, in US dollars, using the 2026 tables from CMS. Your level depends on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), which SSA defines as your adjusted gross income plus tax-exempt interest, generally from your 2024 tax return, and on your filing status: joint filers, people married filing separately who lived with their spouse at any time during the year, and everyone else (single, head of household, qualifying surviving spouse, or married filing separately and living apart all year). The standard 2026 Part B premium is $202.90 a month ($121.60 for immunosuppressive drug coverage only). Not included: your Part D or Medicare Advantage plan’s own premium (IRMAA is added on top of it), Part A premiums, late-enrollment penalties, help from Medicaid or Medicare Savings Programs, the hold-harmless rule, partial years of coverage, and 2027 amounts (CMS sets them each fall). This is not an SSA decision; SSA sends you a letter with your actual amount. Everything stays in this browser tab; nothing is sent or saved. Independent ToolsKo estimate.
