FAQ
Can I contribute 100% of my paycheck into my 401(k)? While you may be looking to contribute your entire paycheck to your 401(k), required federal and state withholding typically prevents you from doing so.
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.
Though you may not be able to claim a tax deduction on all your contributions, you can max out each type of account in the same tax year. Plus, the IRS permits those who are at least 50 years old to make additional “catch-up” contributions into each account.
The annual contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), governmental 457 plans, and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan is increased to $23,500, up from $23,000. The limit on annual contributions to an IRA remains $7,000.
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.
The employer's 401(k) maximum contribution limit is much more liberal. Altogether, the most that can be contributed to your 401(k) plan between both you and your employer is $70,000 in 2025, up from $69,000 in 2024.
Basic elective deferral limit The basic limit on elective deferrals is $23,000 in 2024, $22,500 in 2023, $20,500 in 2022, $19,500 in 2020 and 2021, and $19,000 in 2019, or 100% of the employee's compensation, whichever is less.
The limit on annual contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA) remains unchanged at $7,000. The dollar limit for age 50 catch-up contributions to an IRA remains unchanged at $1,000.
