Explanation / Answer
Answer:Susan and Stan Collins live in Iowa and are married and has two children under the age of 21 years.
Household income=38000+12000+500=50500
The % of FPL is=(50500/23550)=2.144%
The applicable % is then calculated as:
[(% of FPL-Bottom of FPL range) divided by (Top of FPL range-Botton of FPL range)*(Final %-Intial %)+Intial%.
Thus the Susan and Stan househole of 4 applicable % is:
(214-200)/(250-200)*(8.05%-6.3%)=0.49+6.3=6.79
The amount of deemed premium is=50500*6.79%=$3429
Premium tax credit :Annual premium for the designated silver plan in the state-Deemed premium
=10800-3429=7371
Lesser of Annual premiums or $7371 is premium tax credit.
So Premium tax credit=$7371
