About

Enter your coverage type, age, and tax rates. The tool shows the 2026 IRS limit (4,400 self / 8,750 family, plus 1,000 catch-up at 55+), how much room is left after employer contributions, and total tax saved (federal, state, and FICA when contributed via payroll).

How to use

  1. Pick self-only or family HDHP.
  2. Enter age and any employer contribution.
  3. Enter your federal and state tax rates.

FAQ

Do payroll contributions really save FICA?+

Yes. HSA contributions through your employer's cafeteria plan are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes (7.65 percent). Personal deposits don't get this benefit.

What about California and New Jersey?+

Both states tax HSA contributions and earnings as state income. The federal benefit still applies.
