What it did to a Social Security payment
The Part B premium is withheld from the Social Security payment, so it lands in the same January as the cost-of-living adjustment and the two move against each other. A $2,000 monthly benefit in 2021 became $2,118 gross with the 5.9% adjustment — a rise of +$118. After the premium went from $148.50 to $170.10, the payment rose +$96, an effective 5.19%.
| 2021 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gross monthly benefit | $2,000 | $2,118 |
| Part B premium | $148.50 | $170.10 |
| Net payment | $1,851 | $1,947 |

The 2022 income-related tiers
Anyone whose modified adjusted gross income on the 2020 tax return crossed the first threshold paid more than the standard premium. The adjustment is a flat dollar amount per tier, not a percentage of income, and it steps at the bracket boundary rather than phasing in.
| Single | Married filing jointly | Adjustment | Total Part B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to $91,000 | Up to $182,000 | none | $170.10 |
| $91,001 to $114,000 | $182,001 to $228,000 | $68.00 | $238.10 |
| $114,001 to $142,000 | $228,001 to $284,000 | $170.10 | $340.20 |
| $142,001 to $170,000 | $284,001 to $340,000 | $272.20 | $442.30 |
| $170,001 to $499,999 | $340,001 to $749,999 | $374.20 | $544.30 |
| $500,000 and above | $750,000 and above | $408.20 | $578.30 |
