Assume:

• Second cheapest silver plan in Reno is $1,000 per month for a given family of four.

• Second cheapest silver plan in Las Vegas is $800 per month for the same family of four.

The Advance Premium Tax Credit is adjusted so the cost for that family is the same (based only on income) for the second cheapest silver plan.
