How much could you save?

Here’s an example. Let’s say Tom decides to set aside $2,000 in an FSA for the year. Normally, on that money, he’d pay $480 in federal income tax, $100 in state income tax, and $153 in payroll tax. So, by contributing that $2,000 to his FSA, he’ll get $733 in tax savings for the year.

Without an FSA, Tom would pay …Savings
24% in federal income tax$480
5% in state income tax*$100
7.65% in payroll tax$153
His total tax savings for the year with an FSA$733

This hypothetical illustration is for educational purposes only. Dollar amounts or savings will vary depending on income, state and city tax rules, and other factors. Please consult a tax, legal, or financial advisor about your own personal situation.

Health Reimbursement Account

With the Gold with HRA Plan, you will receive an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), administered by UnitedHealthcare, which you can use to help cover the costs of your health care.

HRA features

  • It’s free money. Completely funded by PGTI, without employee contributions, based on your completion of a Health Risk Assessment and biometric screening the prior year.
  • Works like a bank account. PGTI contributes money on your behalf to an account that can be used to pay for your eligible health care expenses. You’ll receive $500 for employee-only medical coverage or $1,000 if you cover dependents. Spend your HRA money on:
    • Deductibles
    • Coinsurance
    • Prescription drugs
    • Out-of-pocket expenses
    • And more
  • Automatically applied to your in-network claims. When you see in-network providers, money in your HRA is automatically applied to out-of-pocket expenses associated with your medical plan.
  • PGTI contributes to your HRA annually, and the funds are available for use at the beginning of the calendar year.
  • For those enrolled in the HRA and decide to enroll in a different medical plan, any accumulated HRA funds will be forfeited.
  • Unused money carries over at the end of each year, up to the plan deducible amount. You cannot take the money with you if you leave the company.
  • Can be paired with a Health Care FSA. You can set aside your own pretax money in an FSA to help cover health expenses that exceed your HRA amount.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Using an FSA is like getting a discount on everyday health and/or dependent care expenses because you’re paying with tax-free money. There are separate FSAs for health care and dependent care. Our FSAs are administered by Triad.

Use your money!

With FSA money, you “use it or lose it.” If you have a balance left in your FSA as year-end approaches, try to spend as much of it as you can on eligible expenses. Request reimbursement or manage your account on the Triad website.

Health Care FSA

With a Health Care FSA, you can contribute up to $3,200 for the year through pretax payroll deductions to help cover eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses.
