Last Friday the IRS announced a few increases to retirement plan contribution limits for 2025:
For employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), governmental 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan, the deferral limit to those plans will increase to $23,500, up from $23,000.
The catch-up contribution to these plans for workers aged 50 and above will remain constant at $7,500. However, a brand new additional catch-up contribution of $3,750 will be available for workers ages 60, 61, 62, and 63.
For IRAs and Roth IRAs, the maximum contribution will remain $7,000 and the catch-up contribution for workers aged 50 and above will remain $1,000.
Along with these adjustments to contribution limits, the phaseout ranges for eligibility for various deductions and credits have also been adjusted. You can find the full release on the IRS website here.
