401k Maximum

401K is for an individual.  So 20,500 max each person = 41,000.    You can each contribute the max.

401k Maximum

Hello,

It is correct that the contribution limit is $ 20500 per individual in 2022.

However, if you are also above 50, you are also eligible to contribute an additional $6500 each in catch-up contributions.
