For 2025, retirement account contribution limits will increase from the 2024 amounts for 401(k), 403(b), and 457 accounts. For Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), contribution limits will remain the same as the 2024 amounts.
2025 Contribution Limits for Retirement Accounts
Employment with the State of California offers many great benefits. Among those benefits is the guaranteed retirement income state employees earn through the CalPERS pension system.
But there is another form of retirement planning the State makes available to its employees. Savings Plus is a voluntary retirement planning program that offers 401(k) and 457(b) retirement accounts. These accounts are funded through automatic payroll deductions and are a great way to save additional money for retirement.
The California Job Blog has a more in-depth article about Savings Plus, how these account work and the investment options available to State employees.
The purpose of this article is to highlight the contribution limits for the main types of retirement accounts. The tables below show the limits for 401(k), 457(b) and IRA accounts. 401(k) and 457(b) have identical limits.
IRAs are accounts available to set up at any time. They are set up through a bank and are unrelated to a specific employer. Contributions are made similar to a savings account, rather than through payroll deductions. We've included contribution limits for these accounts as well.
