401(k) Contribution Limits
38 posts
A 401(k) contribution limit is the maximum amount of money an employee and, if applicable, their employer can contribute to a 401(k) retirement plan in a given year. Set by the IRS, these limits help regulate tax-advantaged savings. Employees can contribute up to an annual cap, and those aged 50 or older may add “catch-up” contributions. Limits can change each year based on inflation adjustments.
