2027 Premiums
Medical
BMO uses a tiered rate structure for medical premiums. The amount you pay depends on your Total Compensation Benefits Base Rate (TCBBR).
For 2027, your TCBBR is your base salary, overtime, shift differential and any variable pay related to work performance that you receive between October 1, 2025, and September 30, 2026.
The actual TCBBR locked in for the calendar is the greater of the:
- Annual Base Salary as of September 30 (or current date for employees hired/rehired/transferred after October 1),
- Benefit Base Rate (BBR) as of September 30 (or current date for employees hired/rehired/transferred after October 1), or
- YTD (Benefit year – October 1 of prior year to September 30 of current year) TCBBR calculated amount based on the pay code list
