| Your situation | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Working past 65 or retiring soon | Medicare Part B Penalty Calculator for New Jersey | See what a late Part B start would cost before you decide to delay, then check the Part D penalty calculator for drug coverage. |
| Choosing a plan this fall (October 15 to December 7, 2026) | New Jersey Part D Drug Cost Calculator for 2026 and 2027 | Price your prescriptions on the 2027 benefit first, then weigh Medigap against Medicare Advantage with that drug figure. |
| Deciding between Medigap and Medicare Advantage | New Jersey Medigap vs Medicare Advantage Cost Calculator | Compares a typical year with a heavy-use year, counting medical and drug costs separately the way Medicare does. |
| Higher income or a recent drop in income | 2026 Medicare IRMAA Calculator for New Jersey | Shows whether a surcharge applies to Part B and Part D, and when form SSA-44 could lower it after retirement. |
| Planning for a serious illness or a funeral | New Jersey Hospital and Critical Illness Gap Calculator | Adds up the bills a health plan leaves; the final expense calculator does the same for end-of-life costs. |
| Planning retirement income | Retirement Income Gap Calculator for New Jersey | Shows the monthly gap between what you will spend and what Social Security and pensions pay. |
Year labels: Medicare penalty and IRMAA tools use the 2026 CMS figures, because the 2027 Part B and IRMAA amounts are announced around November 2026. The drug cost and Medigap tools use the 2027 Part D figures CMS has already set.
