HSA question: $1,500 HSA or $3,000 HSA/year?

Are those contributions that will be made to your HSA account? DMBA can’t

Those are the deductibles.

HSA is one of the best retirement savings vehicles available

You can't contribute to an HSA and FSA.

You can contribute to an HSA and a limited purpose FSA

Thank you for that. That makes sense. I can contribute to dental and vision, but

RexburgCougar

Nov 12, 12:58pm

That is a limited purpose FSA. You can have that if you have an HSA.

Skeptical Optimist

And you can use HSA for dental and vision costs.

But you don't want to. Save your HSA.

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 1:08pm

Yeah, that's a good idea if you can afford to do it that way

I put in $750 - $1000 per year on my limited purpose FSA - low enough that I'm sure I'll use it all

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 1:47pm

I'm a little below that at $50/mo., but for the same reasons.

Nov 12, 1:49pm

If you have a high deductible plan with an HSA, do not use an FSA.

I like taking on higher risk but so i would choose the 6k and max

JohnnyC

Correct. Though I would have a cashflow problem if I even tried to max it out

RexburgCougar

Nov 12, 1:01pm

Nice! 4% match is great.

JohnnyC

It depends on the premiums and how many medical expenses you have each year.

RGGeemer

Nov 12, 12:54pm

This is the risk, but I am banking on the fact that a $6,000 premium isn't too

RexburgCougar

Nov 12, 1:08pm

The savings plan is the same. You can contribute up to $8,550 to your HSA no

If you expect low medical expenses, then I'd probably go for the one with the

Yeah! I should have been clear that I already made the decision, but was still

RexburgCougar

Nov 12, 1:26pm

I would choose the $3k HSA and not spend any of it. Put it away and let it grow

diluigifan

Nov 12, 1:30pm

I'm not convinced the $3k is a company contribution....I'm thinking that is just

RGGeemer

Nov 12, 1:40pm

The deductible is $6K and the contribution is $3K for the HSA60 plan.

RexburgCougar

Nov 12, 1:44pm

Interesting. Sounds like that is the way to go then. The extra $1500
