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.
There are restrictions on how much you can contribute to different accounts. The 2017 contribution limit for a 401(k) is $18,000; $24,000 if youâre 50 and over. Then you can also deposit up to $5,500 in a Roth or traditional IRA for 2017 ($6,500 if youâre 50 and up). Thatâs the combined limit for both types of IRAs, by the way. You canât put, say, $5,500 each into an IRA and a Roth IRA.
