One of the best ways to maximize your paycheck is to save pre-tax money for qualified expenses with an FSA. FSAs help you save money on healthcare, dependent care and commuter expenses by paying for eligible expenses with tax-free dollars.
The Healthcare FSA lets you set aside pre-tax funds via payroll deductions. You can use the money to reimburse yourself for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses. In 2023, you can contribute up to $1,500. Any funds left in the Healthcare FSA on December 31st of each plan year will be forfeited, except for balances up to $610 that can be carried over into the next plan year.

Roll over up to $610 in FSA funds to the next year
A Dependent Care FSA can be used to pay for eligible expenses you incur for childcare, or for the care of a disabled dependent, while you work. Employees may defer up to $5,000 pre-tax per year.
Funds do not roll-over to the next year.
