The IRS has issued (Rev. Proc. 2025-19) the inflation-adjusted limits for Health Savings Accounts for 2026. The 2026 amounts, and the comparable amounts for 2025 and 2024:
| 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | |
| HSA Contribution limit: Single plans | 4,150 | 4,300 | 4,400 |
| HSA Contribution limit: Family plans | 8,300 | 8,550 | 8,750 |
| Minimum deductible, Single plans | 1,600 | 1,650 | 1,700 |
| Minimum deductible, Family plans | 3,200 | 3,300 | 3,400 |
| Out-of-pocket cap, Single plans | 8,050 | 8,300 | 8,500 |
| Out-of-pocket cap, Family plans | 16,100 | 16,600 | 17,000 |
A "catch-up" contribution is allowed for HSA holders who are 55 or older by the end of the tax year. Those participants can contribute and extra $1,000 over the annual HSA contribution limit for the year. So, a contribution of $5,400 for a singe plan or up to $10,750 for a family plan is allowed for 2026 if the participants are over the age of 55.
Health Savings Accounts are IRA-like accounts designed to accumulate funds for coverage of out-of-pocket health costs. Qualifying contributions generate an "above-the-line" deduction on 1040s, with no phaseouts for high-income filers.
HSAs are often overlooked as a personal financial planning tool. The high deductible can lower health insurance costs for qualifying taxpayers. For higher-income individuals, the combination of an up-front deduction and tax-deferred accumulation of earnings on savings make them a powerful savings vehicle.
