Savers and investors aged 50 or older can take advantage of a catch-up contribution, effectively increasing the limit for those approaching traditional retirement age. In 2015, taxpayers who meet this age-based criterion can contribute an additional $6,000 above the regular maximum of $18,000.y the end of the year, I expect to have maximized the employee portion of my 401(k) contributions at $16,500 with extra invested for the employer portion. My 2010 contributions fell short from the maximum by about $700, and a portion of that is due to leaving the company in the middle of December.
Sepaerately, There is also a maximum 401k contribution limit (415 limit) that applies to all EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER 401k contributions. Itâs the lesser of 100% of the employeeâs total pre-tax compensation or $50,000 for 2012.hile the maximum limit was the same between 2009 and 2011, the contribution limit to 401k plans increased in 2012 and 2013. The pre-tax 401k contribution limits set by the IRS over the last few years have been: 1  2008 â $15,500. 2  2009 â $16,500.
