Is this coverage pricing the norm?

[u/DecentDeer2818]

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.

From my perspective, it’s expensive. I’ve never paid anything for employee-only coverage at any job I’ve had. Most heavily subsidized (like $100/mo for family) or fully covered dependents at no cost too.
