2020 contribution limits for your 401(k), 403(b), or a 457 plan have increased from $19,000 to $19,500. Additionally, if you are age 50 or older, you are eligible for a “catch-up” contribution which has increased from $6,000 to $6,500 a year.
2020 contribution limits for an IRA or Roth IRA have stayed unchanged at $6,000, plus a $1,000 catch-up contribution for individuals over age 50.
