(7,670 posts)my employer provides health insurance, at about 168 dollars a month for my contribution to it, according to Kaiser, I would be eligible for at least a 30% decrease in premiums through subsidies at my income level, but I don't know if I qualify, my gross pay a paycheck would be around 850, so 1600 to 1700 a month, give or take. I'm hourly so it varies, and since I'm so close to the "wire" so to speak, from month to month I would qualify and then get disqualified for the exchanges, or maybe it averages out every year, but, again, that will vary as well, even though I haven't had a raise in over a year, I may have more hours.
As of right now, based on my 2012 W-2, I would pay, on average, 8.9% of my income on premiums alone for my employer's insurance, and I get confusing info on that too, do I qualify for the exchanges if its above 8% or above 9.5%, that could make all the difference in the world.
