- Those who make over $37,000 will pay 2.5 percent of their household income less $9,500.
- The “bronze” plan fee established through your state exchange will be paid by those who earn more than $200,000 (or so). The plan will is about $5,000 per person or $12,500 for a family plan.
- Several exemptions could change your payment of the tax.
