Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) for Employers

Help your employees budget and save for qualified expenses during the benefit plan year through pre-tax contributions to FSAs.

Your employees save money while they plan for their expenses

When your employees use an FSA, their taxable income is reduced by the amount they contribute, up to the annual IRS limits. They can use the FSA to plan ahead and budget for eligible expenses in the upcoming benefit plan year and pay less because of their tax savings. Choose from different FSAs to meet your employees’ needs and complement your medical plan.
