HSA Contribution Calculator 2026
Estimate your 2026 HSA contribution limit and remaining room using IRS self-only or family limits, eligible-month proration and the age-55 catch-up.
2026 HSA limits used
| Coverage | 2026 annual contribution limit | Age 55+ catch-up |
|---|---|---|
| Self-only HDHP | $4,400 | +$1,000 |
| Family HDHP | $8,750 | +$1,000 for the eligible account owner |
For two spouses who are each age 55 or older and otherwise eligible, each spouse’s $1,000 catch-up must generally be contributed to that spouse’s own HSA.
Monthly-proration method
- Start with the 2026 self-only or family annual contribution limit.
- Add the account owner’s age-55 catch-up when applicable.
- Multiply by eligible months ÷ 12 for a basic monthly-proration estimate.
- Subtract contributions already made by you or your employer.
This is a contribution-limit estimator, not a determination of HSA eligibility. Medicare enrollment, other health coverage, dependent status, the last-month rule and its testing period, changes in coverage type, and other IRS rules can change the correct limit.
2026 HDHP thresholds for reference
| Coverage | Minimum deductible | Maximum out-of-pocket |
|---|---|---|
