I’m going to retire soon. What can I do now to maximize my savings?

While building a healthy retirement nest egg takes a long-term saving strategy, it is never too late to give your savings a boost.  From now until the time you retire, maximize your contributions to the IRS annual savings limit. 

The 2022 annual employee elective deferral limit is $20,500 401(k) and 403(b) accounts. If you are enrolled in more than one 401(k) or 403(b), your contributions will be counted collectively, meaning you cannot defer more than $20,500 in total amongst all accounts. Catch up limits for 2022 are $6,500 in 401(k) and 403(b) accounts.

Additional rules of eligibility may exist in your specific retirement plan. 


Please see below for current annual contribution limits:


401(k), 403(b), and 457 employee elective deferral limit: $20,500

401(k) and 403(b) catch up: 6,500 in 2022 (Available for those over 50 years old)

457 catch up: $6,500, additional savings opportunities may be available based on plan design
