FSA: use-it-or-lose-it

FSA funds generally must be spent within the plan year; employers may allow a small carryover or grace period.

HSA: yours to keep

HSA balances roll over every year and stay with you even if you change jobs or health plans.

HSA can grow

Many HSAs let you invest your balance, so unused funds can grow tax-free for future medical costs.
