2025 Annual Contribution Limits

The annual IRS contribution limits are increased periodically due to inflation, but they're not increased every year. The higher catch-up limits are optional for employers; talk to your employer to learn more about your plan limits. Also, keep in mind that, in some 457 plans and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), there are a few circumstances when you can contribute above the annual limits. In addition, the maximum contribution to a Roth IRA and the maximum deductible contribution to a traditional IRA may be reduced depending upon your income.
