Product Overview

Purpose and Functionality

IRMAA Clarity is a planned calculation platform designed to model Medicare IRMAA surcharge brackets based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). It helps retirees and financial planners forecast surcharge tier cliffs, lookback periods, and appeal scenarios.

The Friction Point

Why this tool is built

Crossing an IRMAA income cliff by even one dollar results in a substantial annual surcharge penalty. IRMAA Clarity provides exact visibility into surcharge tiers before annual income is finalized.
