The amount you or anyone else can contribute to your HSA depends on the type of high-deductible health plan (HDHP) you have, your age, the date you become an eligible individual, and the date you cease to be an eligible individual are also considered.
If you have a self-only HSA, then a monthly contribution of $287.50 would max out your annual limit; holders of family coverage HSAs can contribute up to $575 per month. If that seems like a lot, remember that these contributions aren't just for medical expenses; they're a type of retirement savings as well.
