Catch-up contributions are additional contributions that individuals can make to their retirement accounts beyond the annual contribution limit. For 2023 and 2024, the catch-up contribution limit is $7,500. For 2025, the catch-up contribution limit is $8,000.
Catch-up contributions can be a valuable tool for individuals who are behind on their retirement savings or who want to save more for retirement. Catch-up contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, which means that they reduce your current taxable income. This can save you money on taxes now and help you grow your retirement savings faster.
