The Triple Tax Advantage of an HSA
Contributions reduce your taxable income (pre-tax through payroll or tax-deductible if contributed directly). The balance grows tax-free when invested. Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are completely tax-free. After age 65, you can withdraw for any reason and pay only ordinary income tax — making an HSA function like a Traditional IRA with a medical bonus.
For 2026, HSA contribution limits are $4,400 for self-only HDHP coverage and $8,750 for family coverage. Account holders aged 55 and older can contribute an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution.
🔬 Methodology & Accuracy
Formula: Tax savings are estimated as HSA contributions multiplied by federal income tax, FICA, and state income tax rates. Long-term growth uses monthly compounding after annual qualified medical withdrawals.
