Annual Plan Limits
See the most up-to-date contribution and benefit limits, compensation limits, and IRA limits
Each year, the US government adjusts the limits for qualified plans and Social Security to reflect cost-of-living adjustments and changes in the law. Many of these limits are based on the "plan year" as defined in the plan document. The elective deferral and catch-up limits are always based on the calendar year.
