What is an HSA?
An HSA is a tax-advantaged account you can use to save money to pay for qualified medical expenses. Because contributions, qualified withdrawals, and investment growth are all tax-free and your money can carry over from year to year, the HSA can help you gain control over your health care expenses.
An HSA is associated with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).

The benefits of HSAs for retirement
Insights for individuals and families
The average couple will spend $285,000 on retirement medical costs as of 2019.5
If you invest half of what you contribute each year, over a period of 30 years your investment could grow to be twice what you need for retirement.6
After age 65, you can use your HSA for anything you want. Non-health care expenses become penalty-free.7

5.
Estimate based on a hypothetical couple retiring in 2019, 65-years-old, with life expectancies that align with Society of Actuaries' RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant rates with Mortality Improvements Scale MP-2016. Actual assets needed may be more or less depending on actual health status, area of residence, and longevity. Estimate is net of taxes. The Fidelity Retiree Health Care Costs Estimate assumes individuals do not have employer-provided retiree health care coverage, but do qualify for the federal government's insurance program, Original Medicare. The calculation takes into account cost-sharing provisions (such as deductibles and coinsurance) associated with Medicare Part A and Part B (inpatient and outpatient medical insurance). It also considers Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) premiums and out-of-pocket costs, as well as certain services excluded by Original Medicare. The estimate does not include other health-related expenses, such as over-the-counter medications, most dental services and long-term care.
6. This hypothetical scenario assumes the following: The household contributes up to the HSA family limit each year at the beginning of the year for 30 years, the IRS will increase contribution limits over time to index to inflation and that the earnings are compounded annually, the account is invested with a 7% rate of return, and the family withdraws 50% of contributions each year.
7. Any withdrawals for non-qualified medical expenses are subject to federal and state taxation. Non-qualified withdrawals before age 65 may be subject to an additional 20% penalty.
