What’s Happening?
- Ages 60–63 get a “super catch-up” contribution of $11,250 in 2025.
- Starting 2026, all catch-ups for high earners must be Roth. No more deferring taxes into oblivion.
Why Act Now?
- If you’re 60–63, max that super catch-up before 2025 ends.
- If your plan doesn’t allow Roth catch-ups, tell HR (or yourself if you’re self-employed) to update it before 2026.
Example
Lisa, 62, adds $11,250 extra into her 401(k) this year. Big win. Next year, if she earns $200k+, those catch-ups must go into Roth. Future Lisa will thank Current Lisa.
