ANSWER

That depends on your income and the plans available in your area. To give a general idea, for self-only coverage, a typical silver plan might have an annual deductible of around $5,000 and an annual out-of-pocket limit on all cost-sharing of $9,450. But if your income is between 100 percent and 150 percent of the federal poverty level, the cost-sharing reductions will modify a silver plan so that the annual deductible might be closer to $0 and the annual out-of-pocket limit on all cost-sharing would be no more than $3,150 for self-coverage.

If your income is between 150 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty level, the cost-sharing reductions will modify the silver plan so that your annual deductible might be lower and your annual out-of-pocket limit would be no more than $3,150 for self-coverage.

If your income is between 200 percent and 250 percent of the federal poverty level, the cost-sharing reductions will be more modest. At this income level, your annual out-of-pocket limit will be reduced to no more than $7,550 for self-coverage.

(These out-of-pocket limits are doubled for family coverage.)
