Retirement Contribution Limits Will Rise in 2026

November 17, 2025

For 2026, the IRS has increased regular and catch-up contribution limits for company retirement plans and IRAs and Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts. These limits are summarized below.

One factor to keep in mind: Starting in 2026, if your W-2 income from your employer is more than $150,000, all of your catch-up contributions to your 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan must be after-tax Roth contributions.
