HSA and HDHP limits will increase for 2024

On May 16, the IRS released Revenue Procedure 2023-23, which provides the inflation-adjusted limits for health savings accounts and high-deductible health plans for 2024. The IRS is required to publish these HSA and HDHP limits by June 1 of each year.

These limits include:

the maximum HSA contribution limit;
the minimum deductible amount for HDHPs; and
the maximum out-of-pocket expense limit for HDHPs.

These limits vary based on whether an individual has self-only or family coverage under an HDHP.

Eligible individuals with self-only HDHP coverage will be able to contribute $4,150 to their HSAs for 2024, up from $3,850 for 2023. Eligible individuals with family HDHP coverage will be able to contribute $8,300 to their HSAs for 2024, up from $7,750 for 2023. Individuals age 55 or older may make an additional $1,000 “catch-up” contribution to their HSAs.

The minimum deductible amount for HDHPs increases to $1,600 for self-only coverage and $3,200 for family coverage for 2024, up from $1,500 for self-only coverage and $3,000 for family coverage for 2023. The HDHP maximum out-of-pocket expense limit increases to $8,050 for self-only coverage and $16,100 for family coverage for 2024, up from $7,500 for self-only coverage and $15,000 for family coverage for 2023.

Action steps

Employers that sponsor HDHPs should review their plan’s cost-sharing limits when preparing for the plan year beginning in 2024. This includes your minimum deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket expense limit. Also, employers that allow employees to make pre-tax HSA contributions should update their plan communications for the increased contribution limits.
