The maximum contribution limit for an HSA is set by the IRS and is subject to change annually. For 2021, the maximum contribution limits are:

• $3,600 for individuals
• $7,200 for families

It's important to keep in mind that these limits are for the total contributions made to your HSA for the year, including contributions made by both you and your employer. If you exceed the annual contribution limit, you may be subject to tax penalties.

Contributing to your HSA up to the maximum limit is a smart way to maximize your tax savings and ensure you have funds set aside for any future medical expenses.
