Plan Choice Suggestions Is this coverage pricing the norm?

Post image

Hi all,

I just got a job offer in NYC where the cost of living is crazy high, as you probably know. This is my first corporate job and I need advice/feedback on is this pricing structure for insurance is the norm.

I know you can’t believe everything you read on the internet but I’ve read that the general norm is for the employer to cover 80-85% of the monthly premium.

I would be earning less than 75k and only covering myself but the price still seems quite high? I’ve never paid more than $118 bi-weekly.

Thank you.

80% is probably on the high side of normal. You’ll usually see anywhere from 50%-100%, and it’s hard to predict what any particular employer will offer. They also may be structuring it to ensure they meet the affordability metrics.
