How much can I contribute to my 401K in 2011?
In 2011, the maximum you may contribute to your 401(k) has not changed. This applies to 403(b) accounts, as well. The maximum you may designate to your 401(k), not including your employer’s matching contributions, is $16,500. If you are age 50 or older, you can contribute an additional $5,500 beyond this maximum for a total of $22,000. Thanks for using ChaCha!

About 401k
A 401K plan enables employees to save money for retirement in a tax free fashion until the money is withdrawn from the account upon the acceptable retirement age. The funds in the account can be invested in different stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets. This was created by Congress in 1981 and is named 401k due to the section of the Internal Revenue Code that describes it.
