Gold's $400 Drop Leaves Retiree Owing Medicare on Higher Peak
Original: Gold Has Fallen Roughly $400 an Ounce Since August. The Retiree Who Sold at the Top Still Owes Medicare on the Top, in 2028
Gold prices have fallen roughly $400 an ounce since August, but retirees who sold near the peak face an unwelcome surprise: Medicare income-related premium calculations are based on tax returns from two years earlier. That means a retiree who realized large gains selling at the top in 2025 could still pay higher Medicare premiums in 2028, even after gold's decline.
Why now: The recent fall in gold prices is prompting retirees to realize that past capital gains can still raise their future Medicare premiums.
