How Much Can I Contribute to My 401k?

One of the questions that I get a lot is, “How much money can I actually contribute to my 401k?”

The answer to that is a little bit more complicated but I’m going to give you the loose guidelines, if you will. The basic guideline is this: You can put away, as an individual, $16,500 a year into your 401k. Now, if you’re age 50 or older, you’re able to do a catch-up of an additional $5,500 per year into your 401k.
