How Much Can I Contribute to an HSA if I'm Over 60?

If you are over 60 years old and have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you may be wondering about the contribution limits for your age group. The good news is that individuals aged 55 and older are eligible to make additional catch-up contributions to their HSA, allowing them to save even more for their healthcare expenses in retirement.

For the year 2021, the maximum HSA contribution limits are as follows:

• Individuals under 55: $3,600
• Individuals 55 and older: $4,600 (includes an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution)

It's important to note that these contribution limits are set by the IRS and are subject to change each year. By taking advantage of the catch-up contributions available to those over 55, you can boost your HSA savings and better prepare for healthcare costs as you age.

As you approach retirement, understanding the contribution limits to your Health Savings Account (HSA) is crucial, especially if you’re over 60. Individuals aged 55 and older are allowed to make catch-up contributions, providing an incredible opportunity to enhance your savings for future healthcare needs.
