Savers and investors aged 50 or older can take advantage of a catch-up contribution, effectively increasing the limit for those approaching traditional retirement age. In 2015, taxpayers who meet this age-based criterion can contribute an additional $6,000 above the regular maximum of $18,000.y the end of the year, I expect to have maximized the employee portion of my 401(k) contributions at $16,500 with extra invested for the employer portion. My 2010 contributions fell short from the maximum by about $700, and a portion of that is due to leaving the company in the middle of December.
The total contribution limit for 401(a) defined contribution plans under section 415(c)(1)(A) increased from $53,000 to $54,000 for 2017. This includes both employer and employee contributions. The annual elective deferral limit for 401(k) plan employee contributions remains $18,000 in 2017.
