In late June, the Internal Revenue Service issued Revenue Procedure 2020-32, in which they set Health Savings Account contribution limits for calendar year 2021, along with minimum deductible and maximum out-of-pocket expenses for the High Deductible Health Plans, with which HSAs are paired.

For HSA family plans, the contribution limit increased by $100 over 2020 limits, while the contribution limit for single-person plans increased by $50.

Meanwhile, the IRS also announced the maximum out-of-pocket expenses for HDHP, which includes deductibles, co-pay and other items, but now premiums are going up as well. In 2021, the maximum out-of-pocket expenses for families increases by $200 over the previous year, while the individual plan will increase by $100.

See the table below for a full comparison:
