  Check with your 401k company and see if you can add $$ to the fund.

  If you’re that overpaid, maybe you’d like to open a Roth? That’s another $5k a year.

  I don’t believe you can. If 17% doesn’t get you to $15K, then your max is whatever 17% gets you to. Sorry. It’s nice that you can sock away that much.

  Bear in mind, you can also contribute to an IRA. You would have to check to see if you can make a deductable contribution or a Roth contribution based on your own personal situation.

  Most 401K’s allow you to contribute more money in to the account…contact your agent and tell them what results you are looking for..you will probably have to transfer money from an existing account into your 401K

  Their plan basically prohibits you from putting in the full limit of $15,000.00 by limiting your contribution to 17% (unless of course you gross $88,235.29 or more per year…then $15k would be 17% in that case).

  You can put money into an IRA, or other retirement plan, but not into your employer’s 401(k) plan. You will not be able to max the 401(k) tax deferral limit, however, you can open other tax exempt retirement accounts.

  The only exception to adding more than the 17% is if you are 50 yrs old or older. You are allowed to put in extra money to catch up retirement funds. Check with your 401K administrator for more details.
