※ The calculation of 1.7 million won per month is a simple calculation based on a 2026 premium rate of 7.19% and a long-term care insurance premium rate of 0.9448%, assuming no assets or vehicles and no income other than public pensions: Annual pension 20.4 million won × 50% ÷ 12 = 850,000 won → Health insurance premium approximately 61,000 won + Long-term care premium approximately 8,000 won = Monthly approximately 69,000 won (Annual approximately 830,000 won). The figures of 314,474 people, 116,306 people, and an average monthly premium of 99,190 won are based on data submitted by the National Health Insurance Service to the National Assembly (Rep.

If your public pension exceeds 1.67 million won per month, you are removed from the dependent status. 310,000 people were removed, and 110,000 were removed along with their spouses due to their pensions.

The four-year reduction that used to cut their premiums ended with the August payment. Pensions rise every year, but the threshold has remained unchanged for four years.
