© Money-Talk.org
Allowable elective deferrals for 401k plans increased to $13,000 per year in 2004, up $1,000 from 2003's $12,000 limit. Current law governing 401k plans, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), provides for growth of the annual limit to match cost-of-living increases. Specifically, the limitations were set to grow by $1,000 until 2006, when the contribution limit reached $15,000.
