Florida Calculator
Find affordable coverage
Updated for 2025 with real Florida rates, brackets, and regulations
Florida's health insurance marketplace serves over 3 million enrollees — the most of any state using Healthcare.gov. Average premiums for a 40-year-old Silver plan are roughly $540/month before subsidies. Florida did not expand Medicaid, leaving a coverage gap for adults earning below 100% FPL. Premium subsidies through the ACA are available for households earning 100-400% of the Federal Poverty Level, and enhanced subsidies (through 2025) extend help to higher incomes. Our calculator estimates your premium, subsidy eligibility, and out-of-pocket costs based on your income, age, and household size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does health insurance cost in Florida?
Average monthly premiums for a 40-year-old: Bronze ~$380, Silver ~$540, Gold ~$650 before subsidies. A family of four averages $1,500-2,200/month before subsidies. With ACA subsidies, many Floridians pay $0-200/month. Premiums vary by county — South Florida tends to be cheaper than North Florida for marketplace plans.
Does Florida have Medicaid expansion?
No. Florida has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA. This creates a 'coverage gap' — adults earning below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level ($15,060 for a single person) who don't qualify for traditional Medicaid may not qualify for marketplace subsidies either. Children and pregnant women have broader Medicaid eligibility.
When is Florida's open enrollment for health insurance?
Open enrollment on Healthcare.gov typically runs November 1 through January 15. You can enroll outside this period only with a qualifying life event (job loss, marriage, birth of child, moving). Florida doesn't have its own state exchange — all marketplace enrollment goes through Healthcare.gov.
Are ACA subsidies available in Florida?
Yes — if your household income is 100-400% of the Federal Poverty Level ($15,060-$60,240 for a single person, $31,200-$124,800 for a family of 4). Enhanced subsidies (extended through 2025) cap premiums at 8.5% of income for all income levels above 400% FPL. Many Floridians qualify for significant help.
Does tobacco use affect health insurance cost in Florida?
Yes. ACA plans can charge tobacco users up to 50% more in premiums (a 1.5× surcharge). For a 50-year-old, this can add $200-400/month. Tobacco surcharges are not offset by ACA subsidies, making the actual out-of-pocket increase substantial for smokers.
