Below the cliff. At this income a single-person household remains eligible for a premium tax credit in 2026.
This occupation is below the cliff in all 21 states reported.
What this figure is. It is the median annual wage BLS reports for Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners (SOC 37-2011) in Wisconsin. BLS surveys wage and salary workers and excludes the self-employed, so it is a benchmark for the occupation in this state — not the income of a self-employed commercial cleaner. Premium tax credit eligibility is set by household modified adjusted gross income and household size, not by occupation, so treat this as a reference point rather than a determination of what you qualify for.
Why the cliff is back. The enhanced premium tax credits expired on 31 December 2025. For plan year 2026 the 400% FPL limit applies again, so household income above $62,600 ends premium tax credit eligibility outright.

Put your ZIP code in and I will show you the carriers filing in your county, what the cheapest plan costs, and what you would actually pay after any help you qualify for. No cost, and you talk to me — not a call center.
Wisconsin has 12 carriers filing across 72 counties right now. That list is rebuilt every year, so what you can choose from in November may not match what you see today — and for a commercial cleaner buying your own cover, who stays matters more than the headline rate.
Nobody can tell you your 2027 Wisconsin premium yet. Filings nationally cluster around a 15% median increase, with the full spread running −1% to 54% — and until this state signs off, a specific local number is invention.
Mark November 1, 2026 to open and December 15 to act. That second date guarantees cover from January 1 in Wisconsin regardless of how the current litigation over the enrollment window resolves.
Check before renewing: PPOs are sold in 15 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties, not all. Whether yours has one decides how much out-of-network care is covered — usually a bigger question for Commercial Cleaners than the monthly figure.
Nothing about 2027 is urgent yet, which is exactly why it is worth ten minutes now. Come November you will be choosing between Wisconsin’s carriers under a deadline; today you can do it without one.
Give me a ZIP and I will tell you three things:
