Question: what is the maximum contribution to a 401k and ira?
Answer: First, understand the contribution limits for both accounts: In 2020, you can contribute up to $19,500 to a 401(k) plan. If you're 50 or older, that annual maximum jumps to $26,000. In 2020, you can contribute up to $6,000 to an IRA, or $7,000 if you're 50 or older.
