401k Contribution Limit $49,000 $49,000 $46,500
401k Employee Deferral $16,500 $16,500 $15,500

Please note that the maximum 401k contribution limit above ($49,000 for 2010 and $46,500 for 2008) is the total of both employee salary deferrals and employer contributions. In addition, the 401k employee deferral limit is the limit that you can contribute from your salary to all plans that you participate in. 401k catch up contributions are only available to employees aged 50 and over.

 

2010 401k Contribution Limits

The 2010 401k contribution limits are the same as those for 2009. However, the 2011 401k contribution limits will be subject to a cost of living adjustment that will be published by the IRS towards the end of 2010.
