The penalty tax for going without health insurance by year is: 1  2014 insurance penalty fee: $95 per person. 2  2015 insurance penalty fee: $325 per person. 3  2016 insurance penalty fee: 2.5% of income or $695 per person or whichever is higher.
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.
