The Internal Revenue Service has released new limits for the coming year. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) IRA contribution limits remain unchanged in 2025 at $7,000. Catch-up contributions for those over age 50 also remain at $1,000, for a total limit of $8,000. Roth IRAs The income phase-out range for Roth IRA contributions increases to $150,000-$165,000 for single filers and heads of household, a $4,000 increase. For married couples filing jointly, the phase-out will be $236,000 to $246,000, a $6,000 increase. Married individuals filing separately see their phase-out range remain at $0-10,000. Workplace Retirement Accounts Those with 401(k), 403(b), 457 plans, and similar accounts will see a $500 increase for 2025, the limit rising to $23,500. The catch-up contribution limit that generally applies for employees aged 50 and over who participate in most 401(k), 403(b), governmental 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan remains $7,500 for 2025. Therefore, participants in most 401(k), 403(b), governmental 457 plans and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan who are 50 and older generally can contribute up to $31,000 each year, starting in 2025. Under a change made in SECURE 2.0, a higher catch-up contribution limit applies for employees aged 60, 61, 62 and 63 who participate in these plans. For 2025, this higher catch-up contribution limit is $11,250 instead of $7,500. SIMPLE Accounts A $500 increase in limits for 2025 gives individuals contributing to this incentive match plan a $16,500 stoplight.
