Premium increases for Covered California health coverage

Average annual increases in premiums per person for lower-income and middle income households for health insurance coverage through Covered California. The expiration of expanded tax credits for middle-income households at the end of 2025 are resulting in increased premium costs that Covered California enrollees are paying for health insurance coverage in 2026 compared to 2025.

Figures represent the average annual increase in premiums per person for health insurance coverage through Covered California. "Middle income" is defined as 400% to 600% of the federal poverty level, or about $62,000 to $94,000 per year for an individual or $128,000 to $193,000 for a family of four.
