To solve for the semimonthly payments on Max's insurance cost:
Annual insurance rate: $11,700
Employer pays 60%
What is Max's amount to pay?
(11,700)(.60) = $7,020
Max's employer pays $7,020
Max pays $4,680 (11,700-7,020)
If Max pay's $4,680 a year and we want to know but he pays semimonthly, or twice a month then we need to divide his annual payment by 24 since there are 12 months and he pays twice a month.
($4,680/24)= $195
Max pays $195 semimonthly for his insurance.
