As a couple aged 55 and older, you may be wondering about the contribution limits for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). For the year 2021, the maximum contribution limit for those in the 55+ age group is $8,200 for couples. This limit is higher than the standard contribution limit for individuals under 55, allowing older couples to save more for their healthcare expenses.

It's important to note that the contribution limits for HSAs are set by the IRS and are subject to change annually. For individuals aged 55 or older, there is an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000 allowed, which is why older couples can contribute more to their HSA than younger individuals.
