What Is IRMAA?

IRMAA is Medicare income-related monthly adjustment amount, an extra premium paid by higher-income Medicare beneficiaries.

Estimate your surcharge

IRMAA is an extra amount some people pay for Medicare Part B and Part D when their income is above annual thresholds. It is based on income from two years before the premium year.

Is IRMAA monthly or annual?

IRMAA is charged monthly, but the calculator also shows an annual estimate so the full impact is easier to understand.
