English term (edited):
[to save for ... with / to pay] with pre-tax dollars
Selected
... avec de l'argent / des sommes / non-imposable(s) // des contributions déductibles
or preferably rework the whole sentence to use the technically more accurate variant:
ces paiements / contributions sont déductibles de l'assiette de l'impôt (sur votre revenu personnel)
"pre-tax dollars" = the dollars you have before you pay taxes - i.e. your "brut revenue" before the taxman takes his cut.
in practical terms:
payments made with "pre-tax dollars" reduce your taxable income - so these payments don't get taxed. IOW:
Contributing to an HSA is a great way to save for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses with pre-tax dollars.
=>
When you contribute to HSA it's a great way to save your money by using it for future out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, and that contribution gets deducted from your taxable income (= you spend that money "before it got taxed")
normally whatever you pay as a private individual you can pay only using what is left AFTER your revenue has been taxed - a revenue of 100 DOESN'T mean that you can spend 100 - all you can spend is what is left AFTER your revenue has been taxed - and depending on the country and its tax system it could as low as only 20-30 of the "pre-tax" 100!
But when you pay anything with "pre-tax dollars" [like here this contribution to a healthcare plan] whatever you have paid reduces your taxable income so in practical terms these payments are made with "tax-free money" / "non-taxed money".
You could maybe use "contributions déductibles" (implicitely "... déductibles du revenu (personnel) brut global"
see:
https://bofip.impots.gouv.fr/bofip/2676-PGP
so
"to pay with pre-tax dollars"
would amount to:
"ces contributions sont déductibles"
I don't see a direct French equivalent for "pre-tax dollars" that would let you leave the sentence structure untouched - not one that would make any sense in French (except for those who can recognise the EN term from a strange sounding "translation" - but the point of a translation is for it to be understandable by those who do not understand the source language)

Daryo
: these dollars might be called "pre-tax" but it's all a legitimate part of / "inside" the tax system. // "Outside of the tax system" you would usually find tax evaders & similar characters - surely not what you meant?
