Highlights of Changes for 2019
The contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan is increased from $18,500 to $19,000. The limit on annual contributions to an IRA, which last increased in 2013, is increased from $5,500 to $6,000.
Accordingly, what is the maximum contribution to a retirement plan?
The basic limit on elective deferrals is 19,500 in 2020 and 2021, $19,000 in 2019, $18,500 in 2018, and $18,000 in 2015 – 2017, or 100% of the employee’s compensation, whichever is less.
Similarly one may ask, what is the max pension contribution for 2020? The amount you can contribute to your 401(k) or similar workplace retirement plan goes up from $19,000 in 2019 to $19,500 in 2020. The 401(k) catch-up contribution limit—if you’re 50 or older in 2020—will be $6,500 for workplace plans, up from $6,000.
In this way, what are the 401k catch-up limits for 2020?
