To contribute to an HSA, you must be enrolled in a high deductible health plan (HDHP). The IRS sets the minimum deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limits for HDHPs each year. These limits determine your eligibility and how much you can contribute.

HSA contribution limits are set by the IRS and updated annually. Contributions can be made by you, your employer, or anyone else on your behalf, but the total cannot exceed the annual limit.

If you are 55 or older, you can contribute an additional $1,000 per year as a catch-up contribution. This is in addition to the standard contribution limit.

The IRS has announced the HSA contribution limits for 2025. These limits apply to the total contributions made by you and your employer combined.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account that allows you to save and pay for qualified medical expenses. To be eligible, you must be enrolled in a qualifying high deductible health plan (HDHP).

Contributions to your HSA are tax-deductible, growth is tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free — giving you a triple tax advantage.

Unlike a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), your HSA funds roll over year after year. There is no "use it or lose it" rule. You keep your HSA even if you change employers or health plans.

You can invest your HSA funds once your balance reaches a certain threshold. This allows your savings to grow even faster over time.
