Health Savings Accounts
What are the HSA limits for 2013?

For 2013, the employer can contribute up to $3,250 for self-only coverage or $6,450 for family coverage to a qualified individual's HSA.
HSA holders 55 and older get to save an extra $1,000 which means $4,250 for an individual and $7,450 for a family) - and these contributions are 100% tax deductible from gross income.
Minimum annual deductibles are $1,250 for self-only coverage or $2,500 for family coverage. Annual out-of-pocket expenses (deductibles, co-payments and other amounts, but not premiums) cannot exceed $6,250 for self-only coverage and $12,500 for family coverage.
