How do I save beyond the max of my 401(k)?

The max amount an employee can contribute in 2023 is $22,500 or $30,000 if 50+.

If you are already set to max out your 401(k) there are a couple of options to save more for retirement:

  1. Contribute to an IRA or Roth IRA
    • If you meet income eligibility requirements, you can open a Roth IRA and contribute up to $6,500 or $7,500 if 50+ with after-tax dollars.
    • If you want to reduce tax liability and you meet income eligibility requirements, you can open an IRA and contribute up to $6,500 or $7,500 if 50+ that is tax deductible.
    • If you are not eligible for the tax-deductible IRA contributions or the Roth IRA you can still contribute to the IRA, but it will not be deductible.
  2. Once you have maxed out your 401(k) and IRA contributions the next option is to open an individual taxable account or joint taxable account if married. 
    • Here there are no eligibility requirements or contribution limits.
    • Any gains/losses are subject to capital gains tax
