FSAs help you save on everyday health and family care expenses by letting you set aside pretax dollars from your paycheck. It’s a simple way to plan ahead, lower your taxable income, and get more value from the benefits you use most.
Why you might want an FSA
FSAs are designed to support you through everyday moments, like routine care, unexpected needs, and family responsibilities, while helping stretch your paycheck a little further.
With an FSA you can
- Pay for eligible expenses with pretax dollars
- Reduce your overall taxable income
- Plan ahead for predictable costs throughout the year
- Choose the account(s) that fit your life and family
Two great FSA options
Choose one or both.
Health Care FSA
Health Care FSA
Can be used for medical, dental, and vision expenses, including:
- Copays and deductibles
- Prescription medications
- Dental and orthodontia expenses
- Vision exams, glasses, and contact lenses
In 2026 you can elect to contribute up to $3,400, which is frontloaded beginning the plan year (August 1) and available to you to use.
Plan carefully! You have 60 days after the plan year ends on July 31 to submit claims. After the 60 days, Wex will automatically roll over up to $680 of unused funds into 2027, so plan your contributions accordingly.
