Annual Plan Limits

Each year the U.S. government adjusts the limits for qualified plans and Social Security to reflect cost-of-living adjustments and changes in the law. Many of these limits are based on the “plan year” as defined in the plan document. The elective deferral and catch-up limits are always based on the calendar year.

Defined contribution plans $56,000 $55,000 $54,000

Social Security Taxable wage base $127,200 $118,500 $127,200

*The 2015 limits remained unchanged for 2016 because the increase in the cost-of-living index did not meet the statutory thresholds that trigger their adjustment.
