You can contribute up to $18,000 to a 401(k) plan in 2015, $500 more than in 2014. To be on track to max out your 401(k) , you will need to contribute $1,500 per month or $750 per paycheck if you are paid twice per month.
1. There are restrictions on how much you can contribute to different accounts. The 2015 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 2015 ($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. If youâre maxing out your 401(k) and have more to save, opening a Roth IRA can help you sock away another $5,500 or $6,500 a year (for restrictions, see below).or example: You can fund a 401(k) (or other employer-sponsored plan, including a SEP-IRA) and a Roth IRA. This enables you to save more, and gives you the tax flexibility mentioned above. You can also throw a traditional IRA into that mix.
