*Starting in 2026, catch-up contributions for higher earners are required to be Roth after-tax contributions, even if regular contributions are pre-tax. Participants with FICA wages below $145,000 (to be adjusted for inflation) in the prior year are exempt and can elect pre-tax or Roth catch-up contributions (if available).

† The DC annual additions limit is effective for limitation years ending in the calendar year.

‡ Use current lookback year compensation to determine HCEs for the following year. For example, use the 2024 lookback compensation to determine the HCEs for the plan year beginning in 2025.
