In 2023, employees will be able to contribute up to $22,500 a year, up from $20,500 to 401(k), 403(b) and other tax-advantaged employer savings plans. The limit on catch-up contributions for people 50 or older also rose to $7500 from $6500. That means a worker over 50 years old can contribute a maximum of $30,000 next year.
The total contribution limit, which includes employer contributions, increased from $61,000 to $66,000. So, for those over 50 years old who take advantage of the catch-up contribution, that’s a maximum total of $73,500.
Employee compensation limit for calculating contributions will rise from $305,000 to $330,000 and the HCE’s (Highly Compensated Employees) threshold for nondiscrimination testing will increase from $135,00 to $150,000.
We have not seen these large increases in decades, we can thank inflation for that! Employers should convey these changes to their employees to encourage increased participation.
