Health Savings Account Resources

Cost Savings

  1. To determine how much cost savings the HSA may provide you and/or your family, you will need to consider several items.
  2. Your Total Contributions (Remember: Contributions as well as accrued interest to the HSA are tax free.)
  3. Your Total Estimated Expenses (Remember: Distributions on qualified medical expenses from the HSA are tax free.)
  4. The Premium Difference Between Your HSA Plan and Other Plan Options (Remember: Monthly premiums for the HDHP insurance are typically lower than those of a Traditional PPO.)

Your Estimated HSA Cost Savings Example

Traditional PPO + FSA HDHP + HSA
Gross Annual Pay $60,000 $60,000
Maximum Annual Health Care FSA Contribution $3,050 $7,750
Estimated Annual Family Premium -$13,000 -$11,000
Adjusted Gross Pay $43,950 $41,250
Estimated Tax Rate (15%) $6,622.50 $6,255
Estimated Annual Expenses $3,050 $3,050
Remaining FSA vs. HSA Balance + $0 $4,450
Remaining Take Home Pay with FSA vs. HSA $34,677.50 $37,045

YOUR TAKE HOME PAY COULD BE $2,367.50 MORE WITH THE HSA

All figures in this table are estimates and based on an annual salary and maximum contribution limits to the benefit account. Your salary, tax rate, health care expenses, and tax savings may be different.
