IRA regular contribution limit will increase to $7,000

On November 1, 2023, the Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2023-75 announcing retirement plan cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) applicable to 2024. After an increase to the traditional and Roth individual retirement account (IRA) regular contribution limit in 2023, the limit will again increase $500 for 2024.
