How to Calculate Your Income for ACA Health Insurance After Quitting Your Job

If you’ve recently quit your job, you may be wondering how to calculate your income for ACA health insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) uses your income to determine your eligibility for subsidies and the amount of your premium.

In general, you can use your expected income for the year to calculate your ACA health insurance premium. This includes income from all sources, such as wages, self-employment income, and investments. If you’re not sure what your income will be for the year, you can use your income from the previous year as an estimate.

If you’ve quit your job in the middle of the year, you can use your income from the previous year or your expected income for the rest of the year to calculate your ACA health insurance premium. If you use your expected income, you should overestimate your income to avoid having to pay back subsidies at tax time.

Here are some tips for calculating your income for ACA health insurance:

Gather your income information. This includes your W-2s, 1099s, and any other documents that show your income from all sources.
Estimate your expected income for the year. If you’re not sure what your income will be, you can use your income from the previous year as an estimate.
Use the ACA income calculator. The ACA income calculator can help you estimate your income for ACA health insurance.

Once you’ve calculated your income, you can use it to shop for ACA health insurance plans. You can compare plans from different insurers to find the plan that’s right for you.
