Flexible Spending Accounts save you money because they enable you to pay for eligible health care and dependent care expenses pre-tax. See how much money you can save by completing the WageWorks FSA calculator. The calculator allows you to estimate 2011 spending on medical care, prescriptions, dental and vision expenses, and dependent care expenses. As estimates are entered, the calculator displays an estimate of your tax savings. If you use the calculator by December 15, 2010, you’ll be entered in a drawing to win an iPad. WageWorks, the University’s FSA plan administrator, is sponsoring this drawing. WageWorks will select one winner from UM in late December. To learn more, attend an FSA Information Session.
