HSA Examples
Health Savings Accounts in conjunction with a High Deductible Health Plan or simply,
"HSA's" are plans that offer tax savings and investment options with Health Insurance
products.
Below are some examples of how Health Savings Account plans are designed to work
HSA Plan Example:
Suppose for this example we take a family of four consisting of two parents ages
of 46 and 41 with two dependent children. Lets suppose that this family has a PPO
Health Insurance Plan with a $5,000 deductible, and it costs $300.90 a month for
the premium. They decide to use an HSA account to save money on their taxes, and
cover their annual deductible. $5,000 deductible divide by twelve months averages
out to $416 a month.

Below describes the tax savings benefits this plan allows the family. We will use
a 28% tax bracket for this illustration.
|
Tax Deduction for Insurance (Insurance Rate x 100% x 28%)
|
$84.25
|
|
Tax Deduction for Savings Deposit (Savings Deposit x 28%)
|
$120.16
|
|
Total Tax Savings
|
$204.42
|
|
Cost After Tax Savings
|
$525.64
|
But remember, the $429.16 is your money. It is sitting in an interest bearing account
in your name. You never gave it to the insurance company. So subtract that amount
out.
The Net Monthly Cost of Insurance after Taxes $ 96.48
With a Health Savings Deposit of $ 5,150.00 at the end of the year.
