2025
will
be
$4,300
for
self-only

up
from
$4,150
in
2024,
based
on
inflation
adjustments,
the

deposit
up

$8,550

You
must
have
an
eligible
high-deductible
health
insurance
plan
to
make
HSA
contributions.
The
IRS
defines “high-deductible”
as
at
least
$1,650
for
self-only
plans
or
$3,300
for
family
coverage
for
2025.
HSAs
offer
three

benefits.

grow
tax-free
and
there
are

However,
only
19%
of

participants
invest
