2017 Plan Benefits and Contribution Limits

The IRS annually reviews the limits placed on retirement plans and IRA contributions and the amount of benefits allowed under a pension plan. Figures are evaluated to determine if an adjustment is needed based on cost of living index statutory thresholds. For 2017, several items are unchanged from previous years, including the limitation on annual salary deferrals into a 401(k) and many other retirement plans. However, other items have been increased, including defined contribution limits into certain plans, defined benefit limits and income subject to social security. To help our clients, prospects and others easily understand the changes, Wilson Lewis has provided a table that outlines current deferral amounts and a comparison over the last three years.
