If you want to contribute more, you can contribute to an individual retirement account (IRA) even if you max out you 401(k) contribution.
The IRS says:
The limit on employee elective deferrals (for traditional and safe harbor plans) is:
- $19,500 in 2021 and 2020 ($19,000 in 2019), subject to cost-of-living adjustments
Generally, you aggregate all elective deferrals you made to all plans in which you participate to determine if you have exceeded these limits. If a plan participant’s elective deferrals are more than the annual limit, find out how you can correct this plan mistake.
