Limits on this page reflect general maximums that may be impacted by employer contributions, plan limits defined by the employer, nondiscrimination testing, partial year eligibility, personal tax filing status, or individual circumstances. Review the details of each plan’s Summary Plan Description (SPD) or regulatory guidance to identify specific occasions in which the maximum may not apply. If a participant is unsure of how their specific circumstances impact their eligibility and limits, they should consult with a tax advisor.
