How Much Will Medicare Cost Me Per Month In 2025?

Do you know how much Medicare will cost you each month in 2025?

Planning for retirement is really important, and if you’re going to be living off of a fixed income, you need to be aware of your expected insurance costs.

So, how much will Medicare cost you in 2025?

2025 Medicare Part A Costs

Medicare Part A helps cover bills from the hospital. So, if you are admitted and receive inpatient care, Medicare Part A is going to help with those costs.

If you’ve worked at least 10 years or can draw off a spouse who has, Medicare Part A is zero cost to have. That means you don’t have any monthly costs to have Medicare Part A.

This doesn’t mean that Medicare Part A doesn’t have other costs like a deductible and coinsurance — because it does — but you won’t have to pay those costs unless you actually need care.

For most people, having Medicare Part A is free.

The Medicare Part A deductible, as well as the coinsurance for care, fluctuates slightly every year, but here are the current Part A costs for 2025:

• $1,676 deductible
• Days 1 – 60: $0 coinsurance
• Days 61 – 90: $419 coinsurance
• Days 91+: $838 coinsurance per “lifetime reserve day,” which caps at 60 days
• Beyond lifetime reserve days: You pay all costs

For beneficiaries in skilled nursing facilities, the daily coinsurance for days 21 through 100 of extended care services in a benefit period will be $209.50 in 2025.

2025 Medicare Part B Costs

Medicare Part B helps cover your medical bills. Lab tests, doctor visits, and wheelchairs are examples of some services and items that Medicare Part B would help pay for.

Medicare Part B does have a standard monthly premium, which is $185 per month. Also, if you have a high income, your premium will be higher.

We always recommend that individuals who are working past the age of 65 contact us to make sure their current insurance setup is appropriate.

Medicare Part B also has a deductible, and it went up in 2025. This year, it is $257. After you meet that deductible, you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for any services, tests or items you need.

2025 Medicare Part D Costs | Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) Costs

For a Medicare Part D plan, also called a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP), the monthly cost varies depending on the prescriptions you take.

There are very low and even $0 premium Part D plans, and there are plans with higher premiums. It's very important to shop the market for your specific medications.

If you do take medications, you’ll have other costs as well, like a deductible, copays and coinsurance. Those costs will vary by plan.

2025 Medigap Costs | Medicare Supplement Costs

Since Medicare only covers about 80% of your medical bills, many people add on a Medicare Supplement to pick up the remaining costs. The monthly premium for a Medicare Supplement will depend on which plan you choose, your age, your gender, your ZIP code, and your tobacco usage.

2025 Medicare Part C Costs | Medicare Advantage Costs

If you choose to get Medicare Part C, which is also called Medicare Advantage (MA), you are replacing Medicare Parts A and B. Often times, MA plans also include a drug benefit, so you also replace Part D.

However, you must still pay the monthly premium for Medicare Part B.

MA premiums vary, depending on which type of plan you choose and which area you’re in. In general, MA premiums are quite low. You can expect premiums to be approximately $17 a month in 2025.

While the monthly premium is very low or even $0, there are some things to consider before opting in to an MA plan. You can read about the pros and cons of Medicare Advantage here.
