<prompt> Human: Recently married and I added my wife to my benefits as they are much better than hers. She agreed to pay the difference to me but I am not sure on what the correct amount is.My single pre tax benefits deduction was 29.11 and adding her brings it to 79.45, difference of 50.34. This caused my net earnings to drop by 34 which I know this is due to me having a lower taxable income. She was paying 63 for her benefits.What would the correct amount be to have her reimburse me? Should I not have her reimburse me as my tax return will bring back some of the costs? We plan on filing jointly for 2016. Also, is this normal or do most married couples just have one member assume the cost?Appreciate any help you can provide.Edit: Im not asking about a one time increase of 50. Annually this is 1300 so we both thought it was important to split and or reimburse. We have always split entertainment costs, bills etc so it didnt seem out of the ordinary to do that in this situation. However, it seems the majority thought is to not have this which I can handle. Appreciate everyones thoughts.  <response>: The correct amount is zero. Seriously... doesnt seem normal to me.
