Catch-Up Contributions

Contributions

Additional contribution amounts permitted by the IRS for individuals age 50 or older (with enhanced limits for ages 60-63 starting in 2025) to help them save more for retirement. These extra contributions are above and beyond the standard annual limits. For Solo 401(k) plans, catch-up contributions can significantly boost your retirement savings in the years leading up to retirement.
