To verify you will not exceed the maximum contributions please use the following formula:
New monthly contribution x remaining months in the calendar year + total contributions since Jan 1st = Maximum Contribution
March 4th submission Example: (Based on 2024 Limits) |
|
$400 (new monthly) x 9 (remaining months) = $3,600 (total new contribution)
$3,600 (New Contribution) + $1,360 (Contributions since Jan 1st) = $4,960 (Maximum Contribution)
|
As of January 2024, $4,960 would be an excess contribution for an employee under age 55 with an only plan.
