Using a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is like getting a discount on everyday health and/or dependent care expenses because you’re paying with tax-free money. There are separate FSAs for health care and dependent care.

FSAs are a great way to save money on out-of-pocket medical expenses. By using pre-tax dollars, individuals can save an average of 30% on eligible medical, pharmaceutical, dental, and eye care costs! The exact amount you can save depends on your income tax rate.
Because of this significant savings opportunity, deciding to participate in an FSA is easy. But it can be harder to decide how much money to contribute. Remember: Up to $610 of unused money may be carried over to the next year; amounts above $610 will be forfeited, so it’s important to estimate your contribution carefully!
The FSA calculator can help! This handy online tool will help you estimate how much you can save in reduced income taxes with an FSA.
