In this step, you set the catch up contribution limits.
In line with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), all employees aged 50 years or above from 2002 onwards, will be eligible for additional contribution limits. This additional limit is called the Catch-Up limit, and is an additional deferral contribution in excess of the standard annual deferral limit.
This new catch-up limit is applicable to 403(b), 401(k) and 457 plans only. However, SAP has provided an option to configure other plans.
Individuals aged 50 years and older will be allowed to make annual catch up contributions starting with $1,000 in 2002 and increasing to $5,000 in 2006 and thereafter.
The new contribution limits are as follows:
Year General Contribution Limit Catch up Contribution Limit
2002 $11,000 $12,000
2003 $12,000 $14,000
2004 $13,000 $16,000
2005 $14,000 $18,000
2006 $15,000 $20,000
Examples
- A participant who is at least age 50 by the end of 2002 can effectively elect to defer up to $12,000 of his or her salary ($11,000 of regular salary and $1,000 of catch up contribution).
- A participant who is at least age 50 by the end of 2006 will be able to defer up to $20,000 of his or her salary ($15,000 of regular salary and $5,000 catch up contribution).
