If you remember the rule of thumb earlier, experts advise saving 10% to 20% of your gross salary each year for retirement. You could put this all in your 401(k), but you should consider some other options once you cover your 401(k) match. If you're single and earn less than $165,000, you qualify for a Roth IRA in 2025.
If you're at least 50 years old though, the IRS will allow you to make extra contributions. These are referred to as “catch-up” contributions. For 2025 (and 2024), the IRS is allowing $7,500 in catch-up contributions.
