About these tools

Are these Medicare tools really free?

Yes — every tool on this page is free to use with no account or signup required. They run on real published CMS data and verified federal formulas.

How accurate are the penalty and IRMAA calculators?

The Part B and Part D penalty calculators use the exact published 2025 federal formulas and premium figures. The IRMAA calculator uses the official 2025 income brackets from SSA. All figures are labeled with their source year.

Can an AI assistant use these tools?

Yes. This site exposes all of these tools as WebMCP tools at /mcp, so an AI assistant with browsing capability can run the same calculations you do — see /llms.txt and /.well-known/mcp.json for the full tool manifest.

Should I rely solely on these tools to make my Medicare decisions?

These tools give you real numbers to work with — but Medicare decisions involve your specific doctors, prescriptions, and health situation. After running the tools, schedule a free consultation with a local licensed advisor who can apply these results to your actual options.
