What is the Healthcare Calculator?

The Healthcare Calculator is an easy-to-use online tool designed to help patients and caregivers quickly determine:

  • How much your insurance will pay
  • How much you will personally owe
  • Your total out-of-pocket cost including additional fees

By entering just three pieces of information — treatment cost, insurance coverage percentage, and any extra charges — you can instantly see a detailed cost summary.

How to Use the Healthcare Calculator (Step-by-Step)

Using the calculator is straightforward and takes less than a minute:

  1. Enter Treatment Cost
    Type the total cost of the treatment or medical service into the Treatment Cost field. This can be an estimate from your healthcare provider or an exact figure from a bill.
  2. Enter Insurance Coverage Percentage
    Input your insurance coverage rate as a percentage (e.g., enter 80 for 80% coverage). You can find this in your insurance policy or by contacting your provider.
  3. Add Additional Fees (Optional)
    If you know there will be extra charges (such as facility fees, specialist charges, or aftercare costs), enter them here. Leave it blank if there are none.
  4. Click Calculate
    Hit the Calculate button to see your results instantly.
  5. Review Your Results
    The calculator will display:
    • Insurance Pays: The amount your insurer covers.
    • You Pay: Your share before any extra fees.
    • Total Cost to You: Your final out-of-pocket amount including additional fees.
  6. Reset if Needed
