Medicare Part B and Part D Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts (IRMAA)

Don’t forget that Medicare Part B and Part D have a surcharge on premiums for higher income earners. Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts(IRMAA) are applied to Part B and Part D premiums based on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of two years ago. This means that your 2023 tax return will determine your IRMAA surcharge for 2025. Roughly 8% of Medicare Part B enrollees are affected by IRMAA.²

The income brackets for IRMAA increased between brackets. In 2024, the first tier of single income earners making between $103,001 and $129,000 paid an IRMAA charge of $69.90 on their Part B premium for a total of $244.60 per month. In 2025, this same income range shifted to $106,001-$133,000—an increase from 2024—with an IRMAA charge of $74.00, making the monthly total $259.00. That’s an increase of $14.40 in IRMAA changes for the first tier for single earning taxpayers grossing above the base Part B premium. The subsequent changes in surcharges between income brackets range from $20.60 to $34.90 more per month than in 2024, as outlined in the chart below.³
