The penalty for not having health insurance, at least for 2014, is up to $95 per adult and $47.50 per child or 1 percent of your taxable income â whichever is greater. It does go up substantially in a couple of years. The amount you owe will be pro-rated to reflect the number of months you were without coverage.
The penalty is either a flat amount assessed for each uninsured family member, or a percentage of your family income, whichever is greater. For 2018 the flat amount penalty is $695 per adult and $347.50 per child under 18 (up to a maximum of $2,085 per family). The percentage penalty is 2.5% of household income. However, the percentage penalty may never exceed the national average cost of a bronze-level health plan. For 2017, this was $3,625 for an individual and $16,320 for a family of five or more. The national cost of bronze level plans for 2018 has not been announced, but will likely be much higher than in 2018, resulting in a higher penalty.
