The math for one household
The 45-year-old earning $35,000, step by step:
- The 2026 poverty guideline for one person, used for 2027 coverage, is $15,960. $35,000 is 219% of it.
- At 219%, the 2027 IRS table expects 7.51% of income toward the benchmark plan: $219 a month.
- The benchmark silver plan in Davidson County costs a 45-year-old $850 a month at 2026 prices.
- The credit is the difference: $850 minus $219, or $631 a month.
- Applied to the cheapest bronze plan, it leaves about $0; to the cheapest gold, $183.
The 400% line matters most at 60. A 60-year-old earning $70,000 is $6,160 over the $63,840 limit and gets no credit. Under the line, the credit here would be worth about $12,651 a year.
