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 401k is a type of defined contribution plan that can be used by employees and by self-employed workers. With this type of plan, you have the ability to contribute up to $16,500 per year out of your annual income as of 2010. This number increases to $22,000 per year once you reach the age of 50.
