These examples are intended for illustrative purposes and are not a prediction of investment results. Your own Plan account may earn more or less than this example. Actual account balances will be determined by the contributions made and any investment gains or losses. Investing in this manner does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss in declining markets. These examples do not take fees into account and actual balances will generally be reduced by fees. Contributions and earnings accrue tax-free and are paid out tax-free for reimbursement of qualified health expenses. These examples are based on $100 contributions made at the beginning of each month and a 7% annual rate of return compounded monthly. Chart balances shown are end-of-year balances.
