Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a low premium or low deductible plan?

If you are generally healthy and rarely use medical services, a high-deductible plan (HDHP) with lower premiums saves money. If you have frequent medical needs, a low-deductible plan with higher premiums may cost less overall.

What is the out-of-pocket maximum?

The OOP max is the most you will pay for covered services in a plan year. After reaching this limit, insurance covers 100%. For 2026, the ACA max is $9,450 for individuals and $18,900 for families.

How do I convert annual salary to hourly?

Divide annual salary by 2,080 (52 weeks x 40 hours). For example, $65,000 / 2,080 = $31.25 per hour. Adjust the hours if you work more or less than 40 hours per week.

What is the average salary in the US?

The median household income in the US is approximately $75,000 as of 2025. Individual median income is about $45,000. These vary significantly by state, profession, and experience level.
