Understanding the 2025 IRMAA Chart: A Guide to Medicare Surcharges

As the new year approaches, Medicare beneficiaries are preparing for changes to their coverage and costs. One important aspect to consider is the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) chart, which determines the surcharge on Medicare Part B and Part D premiums based on income. In this article, we will explore the 2025 IRMAA chart and provide guidance on how to navigate the complexities of Medicare surcharges.

What is IRMAA?

IRMAA is a surcharge on Medicare Part B and Part D premiums for beneficiaries with higher incomes. The surcharge is designed to reduce the financial burden on the Medicare program by requiring higher-income individuals to pay a greater share of their premiums. The IRMAA chart is updated annually to reflect changes in the cost of living and Medicare costs.
