401(k)s, 403(b)s, etc<\/strong>. The standard contribution limit for employee salary deferrals to a qualified retirement plan \u2013 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the government\u2019s Thrift Savings Plan \u2013 is increased to $20,500 for 2022 (was $19,500 for 2021).<\/p>\n

Solo 401(k)s<\/strong>. The contribution limit for a Solo 401(k) in 2022 is increased to the lesser of (a) $61,000, or (b) 100% of the employee\u2019s salary. Note that the catch-up deferral is in addition to this, so the annual contribution limit for a person age 50 or older is $67,500.<\/p>\n
