Brevard's High-Wage Profile: Many Space Coast businesses have average wages above $62,000 — particularly in aerospace, engineering, and defense contracting. These businesses typically don't qualify for the SHOP credit, but the §162 deduction still reduces net cost by the employer's marginal tax rate (typically 25–37%). Even without the credit, a $1,200/month Bronze premium costs approximately $750–$900/month after-tax for a C-corp or S-corp paying federal income tax.
