The IRS recently announced the annual cost-of-living adjustments for certain retirement plans. Most key limits did not change for 2016, including the following:

  Limit for 2015 Limit for 2016
Maximum dollar limit on additions to defined contribution plan $53,000 $53,000
Maximum amount of compensation for qualified retirement plans $265,000 $265,000
Dollar limit for elective deferrals to a 401(k) plan $18,000 ($24,000 if age 50 or older) $18,000 ($24,000 if age 50 or older)
Dollar limit for SIMPLE plan contributions $12,500 ($15,500 if age 50 or older) $12,500 ($15,500 if age 50 or older)
Dollar limit for traditional and Roth IRA contributions $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50 or older) $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50 or older)
