Example:

Substitute your age, salary and employee type in the below example to calculate your cost per-pay:

12 month employee, 47 years old, $50,100 salary, electing coverage at two times salary level:  

  1. Multiply salary by 2 (since coverage is two times salary): $100,200
  2. Round up to the nearest 1,000: $101,000
  3. Divide by 1,000: 101
  4. Determine age and Employee Contribution Rate (using table above) : $0.15
  5. Multiply answer from #3 above by answer from #4 above (this represents the monthly cost): $15.15
  6. Divide by 2 (this represents the bi-weekly cost): $7.57
  7. In this example, $7.57 will be deducted from each paycheck
