Key Changes for 2025
401(k), 403(b), and 457 Plans
The standard contribution limit is increasing to $23,500, up $500 from 2024. This adjustment helps your team members build stronger retirement foundations while keeping pace with economic changes.
New Opportunities for Older Team Members
Starting in 2025, the SECURE 2.0 law introduces enhanced catch-up contributions for employees aged 60-63. While the standard catch-up contribution remains at $7,500 for those 50 and older, eligible individuals in this specific age group can contribute up to $11,250 additional dollars.
SIMPLE Plan Adjustments
For organizations using SIMPLE plans, the contribution limit increases to $16,500. Similar to other retirement plans, there are special catch-up provisions for employees aged 60-63, allowing for additional contributions of $5,250.
