Preparing for 2023: Changes to Annual Contributions and Catch-up Contributions for Retirement Plans

As we head into 2023, there are some changes in store for annual contributions to 401K plans and retirement plans. As a payroll company that provides expert services to help employers stay on top of these changes, we wanted to keep you informed.

Firstly, the IRS has increased the contribution limits for 401K plans and other defined contribution plans. The new limit for 2023 is $20,500, up from $19,500 in 2022. This is great news for employees who want to save more for their retirement.

But what about those who are 50 or older and want to make catch-up contributions? We have good news for them too. The catch-up contribution limit for employees who are 50 or older has also increased. In 2023, they can contribute an additional $6,500, up from $6,000 in 2022.

For those who have a defined benefit plan, the limit on the annual benefit has also increased. In 2023, the maximum annual benefit is $245,000, up from $230,000 in 2022.
