Note: Legislation passed in 2015 made changes to the income thresholds for 2018 and 2019 (the upper 3 brackets were lowered, meaning higher charges apply to people earning less income compared to previous years). In 2020 and thereafter, the thresholds are adjusted annually for inflation. See Section 402 of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA; Public Law 114-10).
