Increased Contribution Limits
SEP IRA – SEP IRA holders may contribute 25% of their compensation or $61,000 in 2022, whichever is less, whereas the previous 2021 limit was only $58,000. Furthermore, in calculating compensation for the purpose of this limit, up to $305,000 of compensation needs to be considered versus $290,000 in 2021.
Solo 401(k) – Solo 401(k) participants may contribute up to $61,000 in 2022, up from $58,000 in 2021. The $6,500 catch-up contribution for account holders age 50 or older still applies each year.
Health Savings Account (HSA) – HSA holders with single high-deductible health coverage may contribute $3,650 in 2022, an increase from $3,600 in 2021. Those with family coverage may contribute up to $7,300 in 2022 ($7,100 in 2020). $1,000 catch-up contributions for HSA holders age 55 or older still apply for each year.
SIMPLE IRA – This limit has increased for 2022: contributions cannot exceed $14,000 per year, up from $13,500 from 2021. However, as with SEP IRAs, up to $305,000 in compensation may be considered in determining a 2022 SIMPLE IRA contribution limit (as opposed to $290,000 in 2021).
Unchanged Limits
Traditional and Roth IRA – These contribution limits will remain $6,000 in 2022. The $1,000 catch-up contribution for account holders age 50 or older will remain in effect as well.
Modified Adjusted Gross Income
The tax deductibility of Traditional IRA contributions and the ability to contribute to a Roth IRA may be affected by your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and by how you file your taxes.
