IRS limits determine HSA contribution amounts

When it comes to contributing to your Health Savings Account (HSA), the amount you can contribute is determined by the IRS guidelines. For 2021, the maximum contribution limit for an individual with self-only coverage is $3,600, and for those with family coverage, it's $7,200.

It's important to note that HSA contribution limits can change annually, so it's essential to stay informed about the current limits to maximize the benefits of your HSA.

When considering how much you can contribute to your Health Savings Account (HSA), it’s essential to recognize that the IRS sets specific limits each year. For 2021, for example, individuals with self-only coverage can contribute up to $3,600, while families are eligible for a higher limit of $7,200.

How additional contributions and limits work

However, there are a few key things to keep in mind when it comes to HSA contributions:

• Individuals who are 55 or older can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000 per year.
• Contributions can be made by you, your employer, or both, but the total amount contributed cannot exceed the annual limit set by the IRS.
• Contributions made by your employer are pre-tax, while contributions you make are typically tax-deductible.
