Welcome to Personal Finance & Money Stack Exchange
We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:
Ask questions, get answers, no distractions
This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.
Just questions...
...and answers.
Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.
The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.
The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".
Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.
How can I find out what % of the health insurance premium my employer pays?
Let's say I pay $600/month (deducted from my paycheck) for the premiums in my PPO plan. Is there a public place to check how much of the premium my employer pay (without needing to ask them of course)?

My employer made that information available as part of the plan selection information, though we might have to dig a bit to find it.
I honestly don't see any downside to simply asking. It's no different from asking about any other employee benefit. Would you be reluctant to ask about the vacation plan, or the education reimbursement offer, or the 401k or charity matching funds?

Unless they include that information on your pay stub (like mine does), the only way to know is to ask them. Even if you know the specific plan you have I don't know of a way to find the total cost for your exact employer. Total cost can vary based on location and the number of employees even for the same plan.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions
Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.
Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.
Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.
Tags make it easy to find interesting questions
All questions are tagged with their subject areas. Each can have up to 5 tags, since a question might be related to several subjects.
Click any tag to see a list of questions with that tag, or go to the tag list to browse for topics that interest you.
