For 2025, the annual limitation on deductions for an individual with self-only coverage under a high-deductible health plan is $4,300, up from $4,150 this year. For calendar year 2025, the annual limitation on deductions for an individual with family coverage under a high-deductible plan is $8,550, up from $8,300 in 2024.
