IRS has announced cost-of-living adjustments affecting retirement plan dollar limitation for tax year 2014. Some of the plan limitations will remain unchanged since the increase in the Consumer Price Index did not meet the statutory thresholds that trigger their adjustment.

  • 401(k), 403(b) and most 457 plan deferrals remain $17,500 (catch-up contribution will stay at $5,000)
  • IRA maximum annual contribution remains $5,500 (additional catch-up remains $1,000)
  • Annual addition limit for Defined Contribution Plans (maximum annual combined employee and employer deferral) increased from $51,000 to $52,000
  • Annual benefit limit from Defined Benefit Plans (maximum) is now equal to the lesser of $210,000 (up from $205,000 in 2013) or 100% of the participant’s average compensation for the highest three years, adjusted for inflation
  • Limit on annual compensation (maximum) used to determine qualified plan benefits or contributions increased from $255,000 to $260,000
  • Highly compensated employee dollar limitation remains unchanged at $115,000
  • Key employees in top-heavy plans- compensation limit taken into account in determining who is a key employee under top-heavy plans increased from $165,000 to $170,000
