IRS Announces 2025 HSA Contribution Limits

The IRS has recently released the contribution limits for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for 2025. In 2024 we saw a significant increase, mainly in response to continued pressures from inflation. In the upcoming year, we will see another adjustment upwards, yet smaller than the 2024 increases.

For 2025, individuals with self-only coverage can contribute up to $4,300 to their HSAs, up from $4,150 in 2024. Family plans can contribute up to $8,550, up from $8,300 in 2024. This change reflects a steady acknowledgment of the need for greater financial flexibility in managing health expenses.

The IRS hasn’t released the 2025 catch-up contribution yet for those age 55 and older. It is currently set at $1,000 for 2024, unchanged from 2023.

According to Fidelity Investments’ 2023 Retiree Health Care Cost Estimate, a 65-year-old retiring this year can expect to spend an average of $157,500, or $315,000 per couple, in health care and medical expenses throughout retirement. Understanding how to save and invest with an HSA plan is key to helping you plan for future expected and unexpected medical expenses.
