2023 Contribution Limits

For 2023, there are several material contribution limit increases across retirement accounts.

A very good practice is to contribute enough of your salary to receive at least the employer match. Also, pay raises often present an easy opportunity to increase your deferral, while reducing your adjusted gross income.

If you will be celebrating your 50th birthday this year, it is also a good time to make sure that your HR Department enables the ‘catch-up’ provision on your employer sponsored plan. This will help you meet the maximum contribution limits throughout the year.

The contribution limits for nearly all types of retirement plans are listed in the following chart [download in PDF form here]:
