Basic Life Insurance Imputed Income Calculator for County-paid life benefits over $50,000

Important: The IRS taxes the value of the premium for employer-provided, basic life insurance on coverage over $50,000. If this applies to you, you will see an amount on each paystub (monthly amount divided in two), based on your age and coverage, representing the value of the premium for the coverage in excess of $50,000, not based on the actual death benefit paid to beneficiaries.
