The Retirement Savings Gap The cost of healthcare in retirement continues to grow, but many consumers aren’t saving for these future expenses. An HSA can play an important part in bridging this retirement savings gap.
Works with Your Retirement Plan Employees can use an HSA for IRS-qualified healthcare expenses now and in retirement. After age 65, employees can withdrawal funds from the HSA for any purpose without penalty but may be subject to income tax if not used for IRS-qualified medical expenses.
HSAs – a Changing Landscape Given the triple tax advantage (tax-free contribution, tax-free growth, tax-free withdrawals) of HSAs, it’s easy to see why 75% of employers view them as an integral part of their retirement benefits strategy. Additionally, more than 40% of employers automatically enroll employees in the HSA if they enroll in the HSA-qualifying healthcare option, up from 35% in 2020 and 32% in 2019.2
HSA Investment Assets (in billions) HSA providers project HSA industry asset growth of 10% in 2022. The average investment accountholder carries a $16,397 average total balance (deposit and investments). Devenir currently projects that the HSA market will approach 43 million accounts by the end of 2025 with $59 billion in assets.3
