How should I classify contributions to my HSA account?

I contribute to my HSA account each payday, deducted from my payroll check. I was able to set up my HSA account under "other banking" in Simplifi and link the account to import transactions. What category would I choose for the deposits to this account? HSA Expense? I want to account for it when budgeting where my money goes but it is not really an expense, it is an asset.

I would think the best way would be to categorize it as a transfer to your HSA account.

Click on the down arrow in the Category field, scroll down to Transfer and then select the appropriate account from the list that pops up.
