2025 Dependent Care FSA Limits refer to the maximum amount of money that can be contributed to a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) in a given year. Dependent Care FSAs are employer-sponsored accounts that allow employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses, such as childcare, preschool, and summer camp.
For 2025, the annual limit for Dependent Care FSAs is $5,000 for single filers and married couples filing jointly. This limit has remained unchanged since 2011. The limit is per family, not per child, so families with multiple children can contribute up to the full amount to their FSA. Employees who are married and filing separately can each contribute up to $2,500 to their own FSA.
