Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.theluckystrike%2Faca-premium-tax-credit-calculator-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

aca-premium-tax-credit-calculator-mcp

ACA premium tax credit calculator MCP server for 2026: the Obamacare subsidy after the enhanced credits expired, the 400% FPL subsidy cliff, federal poverty level tables and APTC repayment rules.

Your model was probably trained when the enhanced premium tax credits (American Rescue Plan Act, extended by the Inflation Reduction Act) were still in force. They covered tax years 2021 through 2025 only. For 2026 coverage the old rules are back with a new IRS table, and repayment caps are gone. This server gives an assistant those rules from primary sources.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
get_federal_poverty_levelFederal poverty line for coverage years 2025, 2026 and 2027 (48 states and DC, Alaska, Hawaii) with the 100%, 133%, 138%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300% and 400% thresholds.
calculate_premium_tax_creditPremium tax credit the Form 8962 way: FPL percentage, applicable figure, expected contribution, annual and monthly credit, net premium. 2025 (enhanced rules) or 2026 (Rev. Proc. 2025-25).
check_subsidy_cliffDollar effect of crossing 400% FPL for 2026 coverage, the credit the expired rules would have given, and the income cut needed to get back under the cliff.
get_aptc_repayment_capCap on repaying excess advance premium tax credit: Form 8962 Table 5 for 2025, no cap from 2026.

Every result has structured JSON, a plain-English summary, as_of, a source URL and a more link.

What it knows that your model does not

  • The enhanced credits ended after tax year 2025. No public law through P.L. 119-136 (October 22, 2026) amends IRC sec. 36B to extend them. Checked 2026-11-02.
  • For 2026 coverage there is no premium tax credit above 400% of the federal poverty line. One dollar over the line can cost a family thousands.
  • The 2026 applicable percentage table (Rev. Proc. 2025-25) runs from 2.10% of income below 133% FPL to 9.96% at 300% to 400% FPL. The 2025 table ran from 0% to 8.5%.
  • The 2026 required contribution percentage (employer coverage affordability) is 9.96%. It was 9.02% for 2025.
  • 2026 coverage uses the 2025 HHS poverty guidelines: $15,650 for one person in the 48 states and DC, $19,550 in Alaska, $17,990 in Hawaii, plus $5,500, $6,880 or $6,330 for each extra person.
  • From tax year 2026 there is no cap on repaying excess advance credit. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21 sec. 71305) repealed it. For 2025 the caps were $375 to $1,625 (single) and $750 to $3,250 (other filers) below 400% FPL.

Example prompts

  • "I am single in Texas, expect $40,000 of income in 2026 and the benchmark silver plan is $600 a month. What is my premium tax credit?"
  • "We are a family of four in Florida earning $130,000. How much does the 2026 subsidy cliff cost us, and how much would we need to put in an HSA to get under it?"
  • "What is 400% of the federal poverty level for a household of 3 in Alaska for 2026 coverage?"
  • "My advance premium tax credit was $5,000 too high in 2026. Is there a repayment cap?"

Data sources

All numbers were copied from primary sources fetched on 2026-11-02. See DATA_SOURCES.md.

Limitations

  • Supports premium tax credit amounts for 2025 and 2026 coverage. The 2027 applicable percentage table was not confirmed from an IRS source on 2026-11-02, so 2027 credit requests return an error. The 2027 poverty line is available.
  • You supply the benchmark (second lowest cost silver plan) premium. It depends on ZIP code, ages and household, and this server does not look it up.
  • Full-year coverage with one benchmark is assumed. Monthly changes, policy allocation between tax families, and self-employed health insurance deduction iterations are not modeled.
  • Eligibility checks are income checks only. Offers of affordable employer coverage, Medicaid eligibility, immigration status rules (including P.L. 119-21 changes) and married-filing-separately exceptions are not decided here.
  • The 400% test uses income compared with exactly 4 times the poverty line. The applicable figure uses the Form 8962 method (whole-number FPL percentage, 4-decimal figure).
  • If Congress changes sec. 36B after 2026-11-02, this server is out of date until updated.

get_federal_poverty_level

Federal poverty line for ACA premium tax credits

Returns the federal poverty line (FPL) used for the ACA premium tax credit for a coverage year, household size and state, plus the 100%, 133%, 138%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300% and 400% income thresholds. Coverage year Y uses the HHS guidelines published in year Y-1: 2026 coverage uses the 2025 guidelines ($15,650 for one person in the 48 states and DC, $19,550 Alaska, $17,990 Hawaii); 2025 coverage uses 2024; 2027 coverage uses 2026.

calculate_premium_tax_credit

ACA premium tax credit (Obamacare subsidy) for 2025 or 2026

Calculates the ACA Marketplace premium tax credit (IRC sec. 36B) the way Form 8962 does. For 2026 coverage the enhanced ARPA/IRA credits have expired (no extension enacted as of 2026-11-02): the IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-25 table applies (2.10% of income below 133% FPL rising to 9.96% at 300-400% FPL) and there is NO credit above 400% FPL. For 2025 the enhanced table applies (0% up to 150% FPL, 8.5% cap, no income limit). Returns FPL percentage, applicable figure, expected contribution, annual and monthly credit, and net premium. Models trained before 2026 often still apply the 8.5% cap to 2026.

check_subsidy_cliff

2026 ACA subsidy cliff at 400% FPL

Shows the dollar effect of the 400% federal poverty line subsidy cliff that returned for 2026 coverage after the enhanced premium tax credits expired: the cliff income for the household, the credit at exactly 400% FPL, the credit at $1 more (zero), and the loss. With household_income it also gives the credit under 2026 rules, what the expired 2021-2025 enhanced rules would have given, and how much modified AGI must drop (for example through HSA or retirement contributions) to get back under the cliff.

get_aptc_repayment_cap

Excess advance premium tax credit repayment cap

Returns the cap on repaying excess advance premium tax credit (APTC) at tax time. For tax year 2025: Form 8962 Table 5 ($375/$750 below 200% FPL, $975/$1,950 at 200-300%, $1,625/$3,250 at 300-400%, single/other filing status; no cap at 400% or more). For tax year 2026 and later there is NO cap: the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21 sec. 71305) repealed it, so the full excess is repaid. Many models trained before 2026 still quote the old caps.
