Where your 2026 marketplace subsidy sits against the restored 400%-of-poverty cliff — and the clawback risk if income crosses it. For 2026 the enhanced ACA premium tax credits have expired, and the pre-2021 structure is back: below 400% of the federal poverty line your premium is capped at a sliding share of income; one dollar above 400% and the subsidy drops to zero. This tool places your household on that curve — your FPL percentage, your expected contribution, your estimated monthly subsidy, and exactly where the cliff falls in dollars. It also flags the 2026 change most people miss: the cap on repaying advance credits was repealed, so if your year-end income lands over 400% you repay every advance dollar with no limit. The decisive input is your FULL-YEAR 2026 MAGI, reconciled at filing — not the estimate you gave at enrollment.
