The IRS sets annual limits on how much you and your employer can contribute to a 401(k) plan. Knowing these limits helps you maximize tax-advantaged savings. Here are the current limits:

	2024	2025
Employee elective deferrals (pretax + Roth)	$23,000	$23,500
Employee + employer contributions combined	$69,000	$70,000
Catch-up contributions (age 50+)	$7,500	$7,500
