We're more than halfway through the year - have you checked in on your retirement savings? Mid-year is the perfect time to make sure you're taking advantage of every opportunity available to you.
If you're 50 or older and still working, you may be eligible to make additional catch-up contributions to your employer retirement plan.
2026 Catch-Up Contribution Limits
✔️ Ages 50-59: Up to $8,000 in catch-up contributions
✔️ Ages 60-63: Up to $11,250 in catch-up contributions
✔️ Age 64+: Up to $8,000 in catch-up contributions
While these updates are helpful, they don't answer the more important questions:
• Should you contribute pre-tax or Roth?
• How do these rules affect your future tax bill?
• Will this impact Medicare IRMAA?
• Should you be doing Roth conversions instead?
• How does this fit into your overall retirement income strategy?
If you're over 50 and haven't reviewed your retirement contributions yet this year, now is a great time to do so. A small adjustment today can make a meaningful difference over the long run.
