Retirement Plan Limits for 2025

2025 and 2024 contribution rates for employer and individual retirement accounts, including income phase-outs for IRA deductions and ROTH IRA contributions.Note that starting in 2025, there is an additional age bracket provided for “super” catch-up contributions (beyond the original 50+) for some retirement plans. This was a result of the SECURE 2.0 Act, enacted in December 2022.

Retirement plan catch-up limits

Note: Elective salary deferrals and catch-up contributions are not permitted in SEP plans.

Defined contribution plan limits

1 If you are self-employed, your effective contribution rate is closer to 20% of net self-employment income. Contributions are based on your net earnings from self-employment (after deducting half of your self-employment tax and your own SEP contributions). You can use this IRS link to determine contributions for yourself.

Roth IRA compensation limits - income phase-out

Note that Roth IRA compensation limits do not apply to a Roth 401(k).

Contributions to a Roth 401(k) are only subject to the plan’s deferral limits, not to income-based restrictions like those for Roth IRA.
