Mercer's projected 2020 FSA contribution limits are here

Well, the day has arrived. Mercer announced the projected 2020 limits for flexible spending accounts (FSAs), along with info on qualified transportation benefits, and Archer medical savings accounts (MSAs). Though these are projected totals, the limits are determined using the Internal Revenue Code's cost-of-living adjustment standard, along with other parameters.

As anticipated, the FSA contribution limit is expected to rise an additional $50, bringing the total annual limit to $2,750. The total is hardly surprising, as we've become accustomed to these incremental boosts, year over year. Of course, we'll still wait for the IRS to make its official announcement, but historically these projections hold true.

To see the full projections, head over to Mercer and see its 2020 Qualified Transportation, Health FSA and Archer MSA Limits article, in full.
