Start with your ZIP and your income, not with a plan name

Premiums are set county by county and the credit is set by income, so no table can give a 1099 worker a final number. Enter your ZIP and a licensed agent prices every plan filed where you live against what you actually expect to earn.

Takes about 30 seconds. No account, and you choose how you are reached.

“I run my own business and my time is valuable. Daniel handled everything — compared the private options, explained what I was actually getting, and had me covered fast. Way better experience than trying to navigate it myself.”

Under the line at the state median

    A married 1099 worker is measured on household income against $86,560 (couple) or $132,000 (family of four); a spouse’s W-2 counts. The trade pages run the numbers for each household size.

    The deduction in West Virginia

    The federal self-employed health insurance deduction (Form 7206) works the same in every state: premiums for the household come off above the line, up to net profit, for months with no employer plan available. State income tax treatment follows the federal adjusted gross income in most states; a tax professional confirms the state return.

    What to do with this

    1. Estimate net 1099 income for 2027, not gross, and place it against the line above.
    2. Under the line: the marketplace with the credit is almost always the cheaper route; pick by network and deductible, not by premium alone.
    3. Over the line: compare the full marketplace price with a private plan with a national network, especially if you work across county lines.
    4. Put the ZIP in the box above; a licensed agent prices every plan filed in your county against the income you give, free, and says which route wins.
