💰️ Government Increases 401(k), IRA Limits; Should You?

The federal government increased 401(k) and IRA contribution limits across the board for 2026. Perhaps it’s time to consider increasing your own contributions for next year as well.

The headline news:

Employee 401(k) contributions increased $1,000 from $23,500 to $24,500.
The catch-up contribution limit increased from $7,500 to $8,000.
The IRA contribution limit increased from $7,000 to $7,500.
IRA catch-up contributions now max out at $1,100 (up from $1,000).

Clark likes to set a low bar to get people to start saving or investing. Just put $10 into a savings account per pay period, he’s said before. And increase it over time.

He says similar things about investing.

But if you’ve started with a modest amount, it’s important to slowly increase your contributions over time.

“Every six months, I want you to increase your contributions by one cent for every dollar you earn,” Clark says.

“You’re not going to miss that one additional cent, but you’ll steadily increase the amount of money you’re putting aside for your future.”
