Guest LSULLIVAN Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone know if these limits are posted anywhere yet?
david rigby Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Not yet. Perhaps next week. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
Mike Preston Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 But we know what they are going to be. Which amount are you interested in?

J Simmons Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 401a17 compensation and 415 DC-plan benefit accrual limits would also be useful to know.

JanetM Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Mike your crystal ball must be better than mine. But I sort of agree, unless the numbers for september are off the charts the limits should be the same as 2007 for K and M. JanetM CPA, MBA
Tom Poje Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 my 'chart' says it would probably be 230,000 in comp and 46,000 for 415 limit, but no change to deferral or catch up limit
Mike Preston Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 401(k) Deferral for 2007 was $15,500 and it is highly likely to be the same for 2008, unless inflation in the one month period ending 9/30/2007 was an annualized rate of about 39%. The catch up limitation will remain $5,000 until we have about 12% inflation on the index as of August 2007. For that to happen in the one month period ending 9/30/2007 would be impossible. 401(a)(17) will most likely be $230,000. Here, we only need an increase of about 1.2% for the one month period ending 9/30/2007 to see it increase to $235,000, so that is definitely a possibility, although still unlikely. That would translate to an annual inflation rate of about 15% so it isn't likely, but is possible. The DC 415 limit is based on the same factors as the 401(a)(17) limit so we ARE going to increase to $46,000, and if the 401(a)(17) limit goes up to $235,000 it will be $47,000. The DB limit will be $185,000 unless things for the month of September go completely haywire.
