Health Care Calculator

The Modeler will help you understand:

Your estimated total out-of-pocket costs under each Pfizer medical plan option
The potential growth of your HSA (Health Savings Account) if you select the HSA Copay option
Your potential tax savings by utilizing the General or Limited Purpose Health Care Account to pay for your eligible health care expenses

Information to gather before you begin

Before you begin using the Modeler you should know:

The family members you expect to cover in 2024
Your Pfizer annual base pay as of Sept. 1, 2023 (new hires should use their base pay as of their hire date)
The medical and prescription drug expenses you and your family might expect to use in 2024 (optional)

This modeling tool is intended for use by U.S. colleagues actively employed by Pfizer and eligible for the U.S. Pfizer Medical Plan. If you are enrolling in the Pfizer Medical Plan mid-year, keep in mind that all estimates shown in this modeler are on an annual basis.

What is your Pfizer annual base pay?

Select one.

Your annual base pay as of Sept. 1, 2023 and your selected 2024 medical coverage tier determine Pfizer’s 2024 contribution to your Health Savings Account if you elect the HSA Copay option. (For new hires, Pfizer’s contribution is determined by your annual base pay as of your hire date.) Your base pay can be found in Workday. If you need assistance confirming your annual base pay, contact the Pfizer Colleague Service Center.

If you choose the HSA Copay option, a Health Savings Account (HSA) will be opened for you. Pfizer will make a contribution to your HSA in 2024 depending on your annual base pay—and you can also make before-tax contributions up to the annual IRS limit. Use the funds in your HSA to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses during the year or invest them to save for the future.

The table below shows the HSA contribution maximums set by the IRS for 2024 based on the coverage level you select.


HSA contribution limit (company + colleague)	$4,150	$8,300
Additional HSA catch-up contribution (age 55+ in 2024)	$1,000	$1,000

Model the Potential Value of the HSA

Did you know the HSA can be an effective savings vehicle for retirement? See how your HSA balance might grow if you invest and continue to make annual HSA contributions at the same rate.

Do you have an existing HSA balance?

Select an expected
rate of return

Select your
retirement age

This hypothetical example represents the estimated growth of the HSA balance based upon the selected expected rate of return, compounded annually on a tax-free basis, until your selected retirement age. For modeling purposes, this Modeler assumes you continue to enroll in the HSA Copay option in future years and save the same amount in your HSA each year. The ending values do not reflect taxes, fees or inflation. If they did, amounts would be lower. Contribution amounts are subject to IRS and Plan limits. Systematic investing does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss in a declining market. This example is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of any security. Consider your current and anticipated investment horizon when making an investment decision, as the illustration may not reflect this. The assumed rate of return used in this example is not guaranteed. Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time and you may gain or lose money.

Health Care Accounts

The General Purpose and Limited Purpose Health Care Accounts are reimbursement accounts that let you use before-tax dollars to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical, prescription drug, dental and vision expenses. Using before-tax dollars to pay for those expenses can reduce your taxable income.

If you enroll in the Network Copay or Traditional Coinsurance options or decide to waive Pfizer medical coverage, you may use the General Purpose HCA to reimburse:

Qualified medical and prescription drug expenses
Qualified dental expenses
Qualified vision expenses

If you enroll in the HSA Copay option, you may use the Limited Purpose HCA to reimburse:

Qualified medical and prescription drug expenses after you have met the plan option’s annual deductible
Qualified dental expenses
Qualified vision expenses

Keep in mind, if you enroll in the HSA Copay option you may use your HSA to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses prior to meeting the plan’s annual deductible.

For 2024, you can elect to contribute up to $3,050 to a General or Limited Purpose Health Care Account, which will be deducted from your pay on a before-tax basis. You can review a complete list of eligible expenses on the IRS website at irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf

Keep in mind, the money you elect to contribute to the General or Limited Purpose HCA can be used to pay for eligible expenses you and your eligible tax dependents incur between Jan. 1, 2024, and Dec. 31, 2024. These accounts are subject to the IRS “use-it-or-lose-it” rule which means any 2024 funds remaining in your General or Limited Purpose HCA after Mar. 31, 2025 will be forfeited.

Use this calculator to estimate your potential tax savings by using the General or Limited Purpose Health Care Account to cover your qualified out-of-pocket expenses.
