$23,000 in 2024 for people under 50
Elective deferrals include both pre-tax and designated Roth contributions an employee makes to an employer-sponsored retirement plan such as a 401(k) or 403(b). (Code §
402(g))
*If you are a clergy member who claims a high percentage of your compensation as housing allowance, check with your clergy tax preparer for the maximum you may contribute to the plan.
The IRS annual contribution limits for your 403(b) retirement plan are significantly higher than what can be contributed to an IRA. For comparison, the annual limit for IRA
contributions in 2024 is $7,000 for those under age 50, and $8,000 for those age 50 or older.
You may contribute additional funds to your Retirement Plan beyond the elective-deferral contribution limit if you are aged 50 or older by the end of the calendar year. (Code § 414(v))
For 2024, the maximum catch-up contribution amount is $7,500 for those aged 50 or older.
The total annual contribution, including pre-tax, tax-paid, and Roth contributions, from both an employeer and an employer cannot exceed $69,000 in 2024. The limit is the lesser of $69,000 or 100 percent of your pay. (Code § 415(c))
*If you are a clergy member who claims a high percentage of your compensation as housing allowance, check with your clergy tax preparer for the maximum you may contribute to the plan.
