402 (g) Deferral Limit History

[Guest frankbrewer]

I'm doing some research on 401K performance, and I need the history of the 402 (g) Deferral Limits from about 1989.

Does anyone have a source for finding this data?

TIA

1987 7,000

1990 7,979

1991 8,475

1992 8,728

1993 8,994

1994 9,240

Beginning in 1995 things switched slightly to using rounded values. I have a spraedsheet that calculates these (you use the CPI index for the third quarter) 2002 the law changed again, although we still would have been at 11,000 anyway.
