by | Oct 27, 2014 | Videos, Retirement Planning

One of the many services we provide to our clients at Mullooly Asset Management is managing the risk in their retirement accounts. We help investors with their 401k accounts, 403b annuities, 457 plans, and IRA’s. Last week the IRS announced adjustments to retirement plan contribution levels for 2015. If you’re saving for retirement, these numbers are very important to know! That’s why we had Tim discuss the changes on our weekly video.

Beginning in 2015:

– Participants in 401k plans, 403b annuities, and 457 plans may now contribute up to $18,000 per year

– If those participants are more than 50 years old, they may contribute an additional $6,000. Bringing their maximum contribution level to $24,000.

– Self employed individuals may contribute up to $53,000 into their SEP accounts (Simplified Employee Pension).

– IRA contribution levels remain unchanged at $5,500. Tom wrote a post on this recently that you can see here: https://mullooly.net/retirement-plan-contribution-limits-2015/7707
