About IRMAA Command Center
Updated November 4, 2026
We help readers understand how income can change Medicare premiums and prepare better questions for Social Security and their advisers.
What this project provides
A free, browser-based calculator applies versioned official Medicare tables. Results explain the tax year, filing classification, income measure, coverage months and assumptions behind each estimate. The learning hub covers income timing, household situations and SSA procedures with primary sources.
This is an independent educational project, not affiliated with SSA, CMS, HHS, the IRS or an insurance company. It does not sell insurance, file appeals, provide medical care or make official benefit determinations.
Ownership

How information is checked
Versioned 2025 and 2026 rate packs are compared with published CMS premiums and SSA POMS tables. Deterministic regression tests check tier boundaries, adjacent cents, lookback assumptions and household coverage. Guides identify their primary sources, dates and assumptions. Read our editorial standards and calculation methodology.
Funding and contact
The calculator is free. Advertising may support educational guides, subject to consent and applicable requirements. The financial workspace loads no advertising scripts. Advertisers do not receive entered financial figures or determine premium tables and editorial conclusions.
