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 2024 became $2,050 gross with the 2.5% adjustment — a rise of +$50. After the premium went from $174.70 to $185.00, the payment rose +$40, an effective 2.19%.

No income-related table is committed for 2025

The Federal Register notice for 2025 states the tier percentages in prose but publishes no bracket table, and this site does not hand-key a table it could not read from a primary source. The standard premium and deductible above are primary-sourced and complete. The coverage gaps are listed in full.
