Expected Medical Costs

Estimate your total medical costs including doctor visits, prescriptions, procedures

How to Use This Calculator

Compare two health insurance plans to find which one saves you money based on your expected medical costs. The calculator accounts for premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums.

Key Terms:

  • Premium: Monthly payment to have insurance coverage
  • Deductible: Amount you pay before insurance starts covering costs
  • Coinsurance: Percentage you pay after meeting deductible (typically 20%)
  • Out-of-Pocket Max: Maximum you'll pay in a year (excluding premiums)

Tip: Consider HSA eligibility with high-deductible plans - tax advantages may make them even better.
