The base premium for 2022 Medicare Part B is $170.10. Part B pricing is based on your income from 2 years prior; therefore, your 2022 Medicare Part B costs are based on your 2020 income tax filings. The increased premium over the based amount is called IRMAA and stands for Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. IRMAA is an additional amount that some people might have to pay along with their Medicare premium if their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is higher than a certain threshold.
