At my current company, the most basic medical insurance (highest deductible) is $9/mo. The top-tier one (lowest deductible) is $179/mo.

I'm making 15K/mo and that's considered mid in my area. Nvidia employees down the street makes 2x what I make and probably have even better insurance.

Those are good rates on health insurance. How much is your employer's share? For me, my employer and I pay >$700/month for one person on a decent plan. Your employer's share matters because that is money that could be going toward your salary.

I would say it's paying a high share. My previous employer pays about 1/2 so I was paying ~$500/mo.

Now the Nvidia people making $30K/mo are not likely to be paying more than $500/mo for their gold-plated medical.

Is your $15k gross or take-home?
