On May 9, the IRS announced inflation adjustments to HSA contribution limits for 2025, along with a few other benefit limits, providing insight into what individuals and families can expect for their healthcare savings.

2025 HSA Contribution Limits

Individual HSA limits will see a small rise to $4,300, up just $150 from 2024, while family HSAs will increase by $250 to $8,550. This adjustment follows a significant boost in 2024, marking the largest-ever increase in HSA limits. Employees aged 55 and older are granted catch-up contributions, allowing them to deposit an additional $1,000 into their HSAs in 2025. This amount remains the same from 2024.

Let's take a closer look at the changes:

	2024	2025
Individual	$4,150	$4,300
Family	$8,300	$8,550
Catch-Up	$1,000	$1,000

2025 HDHP Limits

Adjustments to high-deductible health plan (HDHP) amounts and expense limits have also been made for 2025. For individual plans, the deductible is now $1,650, and for family coverage, it's $3,300. The most an individual will pay in a year will be $8,300, and for families, it will be $16,600.

Here's a comparison of the changes:

	2024	2025
Minimum Deductible	Individual $1,600 Family $3,200	Individual $1,650 Family $3,300
Maximum Out-of-Pocket Limit	Individual $8,050 Family $16,100	Individual $8,300 Family $16,600

2025 EBHRA Limits

Excepted Benefit Health Reimbursement Arrangements (EBHRAs) are also subject to increases in 2025, with the contribution limit reaching $2,150, up from $2,100 in 2024.

	2024	2025

Since their inception 20 years ago, HSAs have become a crucial part of benefits packages, providing employees with valuable tax advantages. They serve as a convenient financial tool to cover eligible healthcare expenses not only for the account holder but also for their spouse, eligible dependents, and even individuals they could have claimed as dependents. However, it’s important to note that only employees enrolled in an HSA-eligible health plan (HDHP) can participate in an HSA, and an HSA card can only be used for qualified medical expenses.
