For 2021, the HSA contribution limits are as follows:

• Self-only coverage: $3,600
• Family coverage: $7,200

It's important to note that these limits include both your contributions and any contributions made by your employer. If you are 55 or older, you are allowed to make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000 per year.

Remember, the HSA maximum contribution limits are subject to change each year, so it's essential to stay informed about the current limits to make the most of your HSA.
