Only 42% of Americans have calculated how much they need to save for retirement.

 

A large multi-million dollar retirement fund sounds great to everyone but, are you on track to hit your retirement goals with your 401(k)?

 

According to the 4% Rule (including its latest revisions), every million dollars saved should produce about $30,000 to $40,000 of annual retirement income. Still, most people are not anywhere near these numbers.

Medical Loss Rebate Calculator

 Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) is one of the rules the Affordable Care Act came up with to make sure health insurance carriers are using member premium dollars to pay for actual care and claims and other tools for its members. 


For individual and small group plans, insurers must spend at least 80% of premium dollars on medical care and health care quality improvements. Large group plans must spend at least 85%. If the medical plans do not spend these threshold amounts, the insurance carriers must reimburse the affected members. 


Many MLR Calculators have been created to help assist you in making the determination of how much money needs to be used for each participant/employee. Click the button below to Download one.
