New Retirement Contribution Limits for 2024

We understand that keeping up to date with changes in the financial markets is tough. However, doing so is prudent to making sure you're taking full advantage of the options available to you.

The Internal Revenue Service has released new limits for the coming year. After months of high inflation and financial uncertainty, some of these cost-of-living-based adjustments have reached near-record levels.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
IRA contribution limits are up $500 in 2024 to $7,000. Catch-up contributions for those over age 50 remain at $1,000, bringing the total limit to $8,000.

Roth IRAs
The income phase-out range for Roth IRA contributions increases to $146,000-$161,000 for single filers and heads of household, an $8,000 increase. For married couples filing jointly, the phase-out will be $230,000 to $240,000, a $12,000 increase. Married individuals filing separately see their phase-out range remain at $0-10,000.

Workplace Retirement Accounts
Those with 401(k), 403(b), 457 plans, and similar accounts will see a $500 increase for 2024, the limit rising to $23,000. Those aged 50 and older will now have the ability to contribute an extra $7,500, bringing their total limit to $30,500.

SIMPLE Accounts
A $500 increase in limits for 2024 gives individuals contributing to this incentive match plan a $16,000 stoplight.
