Preparing for retirement just got a little more financial wiggle room. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced new contribution limits for 2022.

Staying put for 2022 are traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), with the limit remaining at $6,000. The catch-up contribution for traditional IRAs remains $1,000 as well.1


For workplace retirement accounts such as a 401(k) or 403(b) the contribution limit rises $1,000 to $20,500. Catch-up contributions remain at $6,500.1

Eligibility for Roth IRA contributions has increased, as well. These have bumped up to between $129,000 to $144,000 for single filers and heads of households, and $204,000 to $214,000 for those filing jointly as married couples.1


Another increase was for Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRAs), which increases from $13,500 to $14,000.1

If these increases apply to your retirement strategy, you may want to make some adjustments to your contributions.
