HSA Contribution Limit Guidelines for 2023 and 2024: Regulations and Ceilings

Health Investment Accounts (HIAs) are tax-favored financial vehicles for individuals with suitable high-deductible health insurance plans (HDHPs). If your health coverage fits the criteria to be classified as an HDHP, you can make tax-reduced contributions to an HIA, let the funds grow, and withdraw them tax-free to cover eligible HIA expenses.

An HIA provides fiscal benefits both during contributions and withdrawals, making it a valuable tool for saving for medical care or retirement. Nevertheless, there are regulations governing how much you can accumulate in your HIA annually.

Below are the HIA contribution limits for 2024 and 2025.

Maximum HIA contribution limit in 2024 and 2025

The HIA contribution limit can change yearly and depends on whether you have individual (self-only) coverage or a family health insurance plan. The table below displays contribution limits for both 2024 and 2025.

| Type of Coverage | 2024 Contribution Limit | 2025 Contribution Limit || --- | --- | --- || Self-only coverage | $4,150 | $4,300 || Family coverage | $8,300 | $8,550 |

The IRS annually releases the HIA contribution limit. You can check IRS Publication 969 each year to determine the current limit.

Self-only coverage

Keep in mind that this is an aggregate limit that encompasses your contributions and any funds your employer contributes to your account. This differs from 401(k) regulations, where employer matching funds do not affect your capacity to contribute to your account. If your employer contributes $2,000 to your HIA and you have self-only coverage, you would only be enabled to contribute $2,300 before reaching the 2025 contribution limit.

HIA catch-up contributions

$4,300

Individuals aged 55 and older who hold an HIA account can make an additional supplemental contribution of $1,000 over the aforementioned contribution caps. Due to HIA catch-up contribution regulations, the following table shows the maximum contributions an individual aged 55 or older can make.

| Type of Coverage | 2024 Contribution Limit | 2025 Contribution Limit || --- | --- | --- || Self-only coverage | $5,150 | $5,300 || Family coverage | $9,300 | $9,550 |

Family coverage

Supplemental contributions aid older Americans who might incur substantial medical expenses or who may not have amassed sufficient funds for a secure retirement and seek to increase the contributions to their tax-advantaged accounts as they approach the end of their careers.

$8,300

Older Americans may benefit from supplemental contributions since healthcare expenses often rise with age and since an HIA can be an advantageous type of retirement savings account. HSAs function as a retirement savings fund because money can be withdrawn without penalty for any purpose after age 65. Once an HSA account holder reaches 65, distributions not used for medical costs are taxed at their ordinary income tax rate, similar to distributions from a 401(k) or traditional IRA.

How does an HIA impact taxes when I contribute?

$5,300

As HIA contributions can be made using pre-tax funds, you can deduct the amount you've contributed from your taxable income in the contribution year.

The fact that HIA contributions are tax-deductible implies that the amount you contribute reduces the income you're taxed on, thereby saving you money on your IRS bill. It also signifies that your post-tax income decreases by a minimal amount compared to the amount you actually contributed.

Family coverage

For instance, if you have $50,000 in taxable income and contribute $3,600 deductible funds to an HIA, you will be taxed on only $46,400 in income due to your contribution.

$9,300

The exact savings you realize due to your HIA contribution depends on both the size of your contribution and your tax rate. Those who are taxed at a higher rate and those who make larger contributions will see more savings.
