As of 2019, the average annual premium for employer-sponsored health insurance is $7,188 for single coverage and $20,576 for family coverage.

However, premiums can vary widely depending on the size and location of the employer, as well as the type of plan offered. For example, smaller employers tend to pay more for health insurance than larger employers. And, employers in certain parts of the country, such as the Northeast, tend to pay more for health insurance than employers in other parts of the country.

Additionally, the type of health plan offered by an employer can also impact the cost of premiums. For example, plans that have lower deductibles and more generous coverage tend to have higher premiums than plans with higher deductibles and less generous coverage.

So, while the average annual premium for employer-sponsored health insurance is $7,188 for single coverage and $20,576 for family coverage, the amount that most employers pay for health insurance will vary depending on a number of factors.
