The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced an increase in the contribution limits for various retirement accounts in 2025. Individuals will now be able to contribute up to $23,500 to their 401(k) plans, up from $23,000 in 2024. This adjustment is part of the annual cost-of-living adjustments for pension plans and other retirement accounts.
Workers participating in 403(b) plans and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan will also see their contribution limits raised to $23,500 in 2025, up from $23,000 in the previous year. However, the annual contribution limit for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) will remain unchanged at $7,000 for 2025, with the IRA catch-up contribution limit for individuals aged 50 and over staying at $1,000.
