About the HSA

🇺🇸USA

Triple tax advantage — deductible in, tax-free growth, tax-free out for medical.

At a glance

2024 limits$4,150 self / $8,300 family
RequirementEnrollment in an IRS-qualified HDHP
Post-65Non-medical use taxed but penalty-free

Best for

  • Healthy savers with HDHP access who can pay medical costs from cash flow
  • High earners who've maxed 401(k) matching and need more tax shelter
  • Long-horizon investors (HSA balances can compound for decades)

Watch out for

  • Must be enrolled in an HDHP to contribute — Medicare enrollment ends eligibility
  • Most custodians default to cash — actively move balances into investment options
  • Keep receipts — tax-free reimbursement can happen years later

This is educational, not financial advice. An advisor can apply it to your specific situation.

About this tool

This calculator runs a three-phase simulation: accumulation (working years with contributions and growth), preservation (wind-down near retirement with a conservative return), and distribution (retirement withdrawals).

Account-specific features are included automatically: employer match for 401(k) plans, CESG grants for RESP, CDSG grants for RDSP, tax-free growth for TFSA/Roth accounts, tax-deferred growth for RRSP/traditional accounts, and capital-gains treatment for brokerage accounts.

Projections assume constant returns and don't model sequence-of-return risk, inflation (unless toggled), or tax-law changes. A licensed advisor can run stochastic simulations and build a comprehensive retirement plan.
