Five quick details · no identity fields

We compare the amount you enter with KFF's published state benchmark, then grade whether the two numbers are remotely like-for-like. No mock local rate, subsidy, or fairness verdict is generated.

Question 1 of 5Your state

A difference is a lead, not a verdict.

The bench keeps three definitions beside the arithmetic so a public average is never mistaken for a personal price.

  1. 01
    Separate the amounts

    Distinguish full premium, financial help or employer contribution, and the amount actually due.

  2. 02
    Grade the comparison

    Check coverage source, price basis, and plan category before treating two premiums as comparable.

  3. 03
    Retrieve the proof

    Use the invoice, Summary of Benefits and Coverage, and an official current quote to resolve the difference.

The 5 factors that can affect your premium

REF / RATING FACTORS

HealthCare.gov lists five rating factors for Marketplace coverage: age, location, tobacco use, plan category, and whether coverage is for an individual or family. States can limit how some factors are used. Health and medical history cannot change a Marketplace premium. Knowing the factors helps you compare two prices on the same basis.

Questions on the record

Does this tell me whether I am overpaying?

No. It shows the arithmetic difference from a narrow state reference and explains why the numbers may not be comparable. A valid overpayment conclusion requires the same coverage market, rating area, ages, covered people, tobacco status, plan category, price basis, and coverage year.

What is the benchmark?

KFF's published 2026 state average of the second-lowest-cost Silver premium for a 40-year-old in each county, weighted by county plan selections. It is before any tax credit and is not a personal rating-area quote.

Why ask where the coverage comes from?

An employer or COBRA premium, an off-Marketplace individual premium, and a Marketplace benchmark can reflect different markets and contributions. The source determines whether the comparison is even directionally useful.

Can this calculate my tax credit?

No. The official Marketplace application determines exact prices and financial help. This tool does not turn placeholder income or household data into a subsidy estimate.

Do you ask for my phone number?

No. There is no name, email, or phone field. The audit is prepared in the browser, and only the state appears in the optional handoff URL.

Do you keep my bill amount?

The door has no account or database. The amount is used for the on-page arithmetic and is not included in analytics or the handoff URL.
