The rate scales up to $70.00 plus your plan premium per month when income tops $163,000 (single filing status), and scales up to $76.40 plus your plan premium when your income exceeds $750,000 (joint filing status). 
   
Late enrollment penalties  
   
Part A 10% surcharge paid for a period equal to twice the number of years  you were entitled to Part A but chose not to enroll.
   
Part B 10% surcharge for as long as you have Medicare. The penalty increases by 10% for each full 12-month period you were entitled to Part B but chose not to enroll.
   
Part D The late enrollment penalty is calculated by multiplying 1% of the National base premium (see above) times the number of full, uncovered  months that you were eligible but didn’t join a Medicare drug plan.
