IRS establishes 2026 HSA and HDHP limits

Authored by Bukaty Companies on May 5, 2025

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently issued Revenue Procedure 2025-19 establishing health savings account (HSA) contribution limits for the 2026 calendar year. Beginning January 1, 2026, individuals with self-only coverage can annually contribute up to $4,400 to their HSA. Those with family coverage may make up $8,750 in annual contributions.

HSAs are tax-exempt accounts that help people save money for eligible medical expenses. To qualify for an HSA, the policyholder

  • must be enrolled in an HSA-qualified, high deductible health plan (HDHP),
  • must not be covered by other non-HDHP health insurance or Medicare, and
  • cannot be claimed as a dependent on a tax return.
