You probably know there’s a limit on the amount of pre-tax and Roth contributions you can make to your company savings plan each year. The 2025 elective deferral limit is $23,500 for 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans and is either $16,500 or $17,600 for SIMPLE plans (depending on the size of your employer). If you’re age 50 or older, you can make additional catch-up contributions beyond these limits, and if you’re age 60, 61, 62 or 63, you may qualify for even higher catch-ups.
