Part A Costs

Most people don't pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part A (hospital insurance). But if you have to pay for Part A because you or your spouse doesn't have a long enough work history, you'll pay between $227 (for 30-39 work credits) and $413 (for fewer than 30 work credits).

Part B Costs

Most people pay a Part B premium of $109 each month (up from $104.90 in 2016). But if you first enroll in Medicare Part B during 2017, or you are not collecting Social Security benefits, your premium will be $134 per month (up from $121.80 in 2016).

Part D Costs

Part D premiums vary depending on the plan you choose. The Part D deductible for 2017 is $400 per year (though some plans waive the deductible).

More on the Part B Premium. This was taken directly from Medicare.gov

The standard Part B premium amount in 2017 will be $134 (or higher depending on your income). However, most people who get Social Security benefits will pay less than this amount. This is because the Part B premium increased more than the cost-of-living increase for 2017 Social Security benefits.

In other words

If you’re currently getting your premium deducted from your Social Security check, this number is not what you will pay. You will actually pay less. The Social Security office will inform you of your rate. This is because the part B premium increase was more than the Social Security cost of living increase.
