2026 educational estimator

Medicare Late Enrollment Penalty Calculator

Estimate a possible Part A, Part B, or Part D late enrollment penalty. Medicare or your plan makes the final determination.

Part B rule

The penalty increases 10% for every full 12-month delay.

This estimate uses the 2026 standard Part B premium of $202.90. Income-related adjustments are not included.

Calculated in your browser. No answers are saved or sent.

This calculator provides an educational estimate only. It does not determine eligibility, enrollment rights, creditable coverage, or the amount Medicare or a drug plan will assess. Premiums and base amounts can change each year.
