Late last week, the Internal Revenue Service released updates to the maximum annual 2025 contribution limits for health savings accounts (HSAs) under high deductible health plans (HDHPs). These inflation-adjusted limits, which have increased slightly from 2024, apply to both individual and family coverage. Of note, the annual limit for the additional catch-up HSA contribution eligible individuals aged 55 and over are permitted to make remains unchanged.

The updates also include deductible minimums and out-of-pocket (OOP) expense limits for HDHPs and an increase to the maximum amount that may be made newly available for excepted benefit health reimbursement arrangements (EBHRAs). The HSA, HDHP, and out-of-pocket thresholds apply for the 2025 calendar year, while the EBHRA maximum applies to the 2025 plan year.

The 2025 limits are summarized below in comparison to the 2024 limits:
