Resources • Annual Plan Limits
The IRS annually announces cost-of-living adjustments for qualified retirement plans and IRAs. Some plan limits remain unchanged because the increase in the Consumer Price Index does not meet the thresholds for their adjustments, while others may rise.
The Finway Group is pleased to offer this chart for your reference.
