IRS Benefit Plan Limits for 2026 

On November 13, 2025, the IRS released Notice 2025-67, announcing cost-of-living adjustments that affect contribution limits for retirement plans and retirement accounts in 2026. The table below, though not exhaustive, highlights key changes that retirement plan sponsors should be aware of, along with several limitations that remain unchanged.


The following tables display key limits for 2025 and 2026 from the IRS:


A note on SIMPLE IRAs: Employers with 26 or more employees can take advantage of these larger limits by increasing the employer contribution formula in the adoption agreement to a 4 percent matching contribution or a 3 percent nonelective contribution.


1 Employee deferrals to all 401(k) and 403(b) plans must be aggregated for purposes of this limit.

2 For a participant who separated from service before January 1, 2026, the limitation for defined benefit plans under Section 415(b)(1)(B) can be computed by multiplying the participant’s compensation limitation, as adjusted through 2025, by 1.0288.

3 401(a) compensation limit, the amount of earned income that can be used to calculate retirement account contributions. All compensation from a single employer (including all members of a controlled group) must be aggregated for purposes of this limit.
