Plan sponsors, below are the 2022 401(k) and Pension Plan Contribution  Limits.  The IRS increased 401(k) contributions limits for employees but not the Catch Up limit for age 50+ (fyi, they did not increase personal IRA limits either). 

If you’re having a challenge getting your employees to contribute more to their 401(k), give us a call. Your consultation is free. We have helped many companies in that situation. 

Also, if some employees are getting refunds (excess contributions) from the 401(k) that is a sign your 401(k) benefit is having a problem. Reach out and let’s have a call to share some ideas to fix that. 

2022 Pension Plan Limitations

401(k) Maximum Elective Deferral (*$27,000 for those age 50 or older, if plan permits) $20,500*
Defined Contribution Maximum Annual Addition $61,000
Highly Compensated Employee Threshold $135,000
Annual Compensation Limit $305,000
