This chart assumes a total HSA balance of $15,000 (which is the average total HSA balance according to the Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape). If the HSA provider imposed an investment threshold, or minimum cash balance (the fifth column in the chart), that amount was kept in cash and the rest was invested. If the HSA provider did not impose an investment threshold, all $15,000 was invested.
Data source: Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape. Calculations assume a 6% annual market return.
Annual Maintenance Fee and Annual Investment Fee are from Exhibit 21 of the Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape
Investment Thresholds (Minimum Cash Balances) are from Exhibit 30 of the Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape
Annual Interest on $2,000 Cash Balances are from Exhibit 7 of the Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape
Underlying Fund Fees (Expense Ratios) for Equal-Weighted 60/40 Portfolios are from Exhibit 23 of the Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape
*Here is how Annual Opportunity Cost was calculated: ((Investment Threshold x 6%) – Annual Interest on $2,000 Cash Balance).
**Here is how Estimated Annual Cost was calculated: (Annual Maintenance Fee + Annual Investment Fee ($) + (Annual Investment Fee (%) x ($15,000 – Investment Threshold))) + (Annual Opportunity Cost) + (($15,000 – Investment Threshold) x Underlying Fund Fee for Equal-Weighted 60/40 Portfolios). Since the release of the Morningstar 2019 HSA Landscape, HealthSavings‘ Annual Maintenance Fee changed to $36.
