2026 HSA/HDHP Limits Announced: Key Updates for Employers

The IRS released its annual inflation-adjusted limits for health savings accounts (HSAs) and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) for the 2026 calendar year (Revenue Procedure 2025-19). If your organization offers an HDHP with an HSA, now is the time to review these updates and prepare for open enrollment. 

What’s changing in 2026 

• The HSA contribution limit is increasing to $4,400 for self-only coverage and $8,750 for family coverage. 

• The HDHP minimum deductible will rise to $1,700 for self-only and $3,400 for family coverage. 

• The HDHP out-of-pocket maximum will increase to $8,500 for self-only and $17,000 for family coverage. 

The HSA catch-up contribution for individuals age 55+ remains unchanged at $1,000. 

Why it matters 

Employers sponsoring HDHPs should review their plan designs to ensure compliance with these new limits. Now is also a good time to update employee communications so that workers can take full advantage of the increased HSA contribution opportunities in 2026.
