For most individuals, Medicare Part A will be premium-free. This happens if you've hit your 40 quarters (10 years) of working life and paying FICA taxes. If you don't hit this, the premium will be up to $426 per month.
In 2014, Individuals with Medicare Part B will pay anywhere from the minimum $104.90 per month (this is most individuals), up to the maximum of $335.70 per month, depending on your income level (individuals with higher incomes pay a higher premium due to the high-income penalty on Part B premium calculations).
So for those with only Parts A & B, the "average" person will likely be paying $104.90 per month between the two.
If you want to add prescription drug coverage or a Medicare supplement plan, you will have additional premium expenses (the premiums will also be based on the plan you're applying for, your age, and other factors).
