The 2026 Medicare Part B standard premium is projected to be $206.50, an increase of $21.50 from 2025. This is a double-digit increase of 11.6%, and the official figures will be released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) later in the fall of 2025. Beneficiaries should be aware that Part B premiums are typically deducted from Social Security checks, and some individuals may also owe an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) based on their 2024 tax return.
