2026 HSA Contribution Estimator
Why Open an HSA?
HSAs offer tax-free savings for healthcare expenses. Contributions reduce taxable income, and funds can be used for medical, dental, vision, and more. Plus, unused funds roll over yearly and can even be invested.
How to Use the Calculator
Choose whether you have individual or family coverage, and whether you're age 55 or older. The calculator will show your 2026 contribution limit including any catch-up amounts.
Example: Family Plan in 2026
If you have family coverage and are 58 years old, your 2026 HSA contribution limit would be $9,750 ($8,750 base + $1,000 catch-up). That’s tax-free savings you can use for qualified expenses now or in retirement.
FAQ

- Is an HSA better than an FSA? HSAs roll over and grow tax-free, while FSAs usually expire annually.
