Health Savings Account (HSA)
Triple-tax-advantaged savings account paired with HDHP — for medical expenses now or later.
Full explanation
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account paired with a qualifying High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). 2026 contribution limits: $4,400 single / $8,750 family, plus $1,000 catch-up at age 55+. HSAs are triple-tax-advantaged: contributions are deductible (above-the-line), growth is tax-deferred, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. After age 65, non-medical withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income (no penalty) — making the HSA effectively a backup IRA. HSA dollars roll over year to year and follow you between employers.
