2026 limits: $4,400 self-only, $8,750 family, plus $1,000 from age 55. The limit counts employer money. Payroll contributions also skip the 7.65% FICA tax, and a few states, including California and New Jersey, tax HSA contributions.

A tax break on the way in, the way up and the way out

HSA contributions are deductible, growth is untaxed, and withdrawals for qualified medical costs are tax-free. You need a qualifying high-deductible health plan to contribute.

How the calculation works

The 2026 limit is $4,400 for self-only coverage and $8,750 for family coverage, plus $1,000 from age 55, and it includes employer contributions. Payroll contributions also skip the 7.65% Social Security and Medicare tax.

With self-only coverage, $3,000 of your own contributions and $500 from your employer, $900 of room is left. At a 22% federal bracket and a 4% state rate, the tax saved this year is about $1,010. $3,500 a year invested at 6% for 20 years grows to about $134,800.

Things to know

California and New Jersey tax HSA contributions at the state level. Keep receipts: you can reimburse yourself for qualified costs years later. After 65, non-medical withdrawals are taxed as income but not penalized.
