Retirement plan limits for 2019-2020

 401(k) contributions
The annual contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans and the Thrift Savings Plan used by federal government employees increased in 2019 to $19,000 (and those limits will be going up another $500 in 2020). If you’re 50 or older, you also can take advantage of a catch-up provision of $6,000 (a figure that is also rising by $500 in 2020). That means all together you could put away $25,000 in your employer-sponsored plan in 2019 — and that total rises to $26,000 in 2020. And in case you were wondering, your employer’s matching contribution, if there is one, doesn’t count toward your limit

IRAs
The contribution limits for traditional and Roth IRAs went up in 2019 — to $6,000, or $7,000 for those who are 50 and older. So if you’re a 50-plus individual focused on growing your savings account, you could put away as much as $32,000 between your 401(k) and your Roth in 2019.

Contribution limits for Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs will remain the same in 2020.
