Your plans and your year in, one total per plan out

A few minutes with your benefits guide. No billed-spend slider, no guessing.

  1. Type in each plan

    Premium per paycheck, deductible, copays, coinsurance, out-of-pocket max and employer HSA money, straight from the Summary of Benefits.

  2. Add your household's year

    Named prescriptions with their tier, PCP and specialist visits, urgent care, a planned surgery or a baby, for each person.

  3. See the total, then track it

    Best, expected and worst-case year for each plan after HSA tax savings. After you enroll, log claims and watch your deductible.

Every bill runs through your plan's real rules

Copays before or after the deductible, embedded or aggregate family deductibles, coinsurance, then the out-of-pocket cap, in date order, the way your insurer counts them.

Before you start

Is this insurance advice?

No. PlanMath is an educational calculator. It does the math on the numbers you enter from your plans' Summary of Benefits and Coverage. Always check your plan documents and your doctors' networks.

Is my health data shared?

No. Your plans and claims stay in your account, we never sell them, and you can delete everything in one click.

What does the free version do?

Two plans, one scenario, the full-year total in a normal and a worst-case year. Paid adds more plans and scenarios, the best case and break-even, and the all-year deductible tracker.

Do you handle family deductibles?

Yes. You choose embedded or aggregate for each plan, and the engine applies each person's costs the way that plan does.

All questions, sources and who it's for

You live with this choice for a year. The math takes a few minutes.
