Source: Plan information is from the plan landscape files as of November 2014 for 35 states.
Note: The average number of QHPs per county is unweighted across counties within a state and excludes catastrophic plans. Premiums are weighted averages across all counties in each state, weighted by the county’s number of Marketplace health plan selections as of May 12, 2014. In this example, the family of four is one 40-year-old adult, one 38-year-old adult, and two children under the age of 21. For households eligible for premium tax credits, after-tax-credit benchmark premiums are capped at a given percentage of household income. As shown in the table, after-tax benchmark premiums will differ slightly between 2014 and 2015 for identical family compositions and income amounts because of changes in the applicable percentages and the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The 2014 guidelines are used to calculate benchmark premiums for coverage in 2015, and 2013 guidelines are used for coverage in 2014. Because poverty guideline thresholds generally increase each year, a given dollar amount of income may equate to a smaller percentage of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) this year than it did in the year previous. For example, a four-person family with an income of $60,000 is at 252 percent of the FPL by 2014 guidelines and at 255 percent of the FPL by 2013 guidelines. As a result, the percentage of income the family would pay for the benchmark plan is smaller for 2015 than for 2014.
* Alaska’s federal poverty guidelines are higher than those for the continental United States; consequently, the after tax credit premium is lower for a given amount of income.
** In all 35 states, our calculations of premiums after tax credits assume that all members of the family of four making $60,000 would be eligible for premium tax credits. However, in states with higher Medicaid/CHIP thresholds the children would be eligible for Medicaid/CHIP and not eligible for premium tax credits.
*** If the benchmark plan premium is below the applicable percentage of income after tax credit, the tax credit-eligible enrollee pays the actual premium. In Pennsylvania and Arizona in 2014, average premiums for second-lowest silver after tax credit for a 27-year-old making $25,000 were below the amount corresponding to the applicable percentage.
