What are the 2026 new contribution limits?
 
New year, new 401(k) limits!

In this episode, Andrew Fincher, CFP®, AIF®, Financial Advisor, walks you through what changed for 2026. Contribution limits are up, which means more opportunity to save in a tax-advantaged way.

  • $24,500 employee contribution limit
  • Higher catch-up contributions if you’re 50+
  • Even more flexibility if you’re in that 60–63 window


These increases may not seem huge year to year, but over time they can make a meaningful difference. At the start of every year, it’s a good reminder to review your contributions and see if there’s room to bump them up, even if just a little.
