FSA vs. Emergency Fund Balance Calculator

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Planner

FSAs allow you to set aside pre-tax money for eligible healthcare or dependent care expenses, potentially saving you on taxes. Estimate your annual expenses carefully as FSA funds often have a "use-it-or-lose-it" rule. Check your employer's specific plan details and IRS limits (e.g., for 2025, general Health FSA limit is around $3,300, Dependent Care around $5,000 per household - these are examples and can change; this tool does not enforce these limits).
