IRA limits and eligibility
Traditional and Roth IRA contribution limits for individuals
Contribution limits are subject to annual cost of living adjustments. If you're age 50 or older, you may qualify for an additional catch-up contribution and beginning in 2024, the catch-up is subject to a cost of living adjustment as well.
For 2023, the individual contribution limit is the lesser of earned income or $6,500. For 2024 the limit increases to $7,000. The catch-up amount for individuals age 50 or older is $1,000 for 2023 and 2024.
Contribution limits for married couples
The contribution limits apply to each individual, so married couples may be able to contribute the contribution limit for both spouses. For example, in 2024, a married couple, both of whom are 50 or older, may contribute a total of $16,000 ($8,000 each, if there is enough earned income to support this level of contribution).
