retirement-contribution-limits-2027-mcp

An MCP server that gives an AI assistant the official 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), IRA, SIMPLE and HSA contribution limits for 2025, 2026 and 2027, the SECURE 2.0 age 60-63 super catch-up and Roth catch-up rule, and the 2027 Social Security COLA, wage base and earnings test. Limits the IRS has not announced yet are reported as not published, never guessed.

What it knows that your model does not

  • 2026 limits (IRS Notice 2025-67): 401(k) $24,500, catch-up $8,000, age 60-63 catch-up $11,250, IRA $7,500 plus $1,100 at 50+, 415(c) $72,000, compensation limit $360,000.
  • 2027 HSA limits (Rev. Proc. 2026-24): $4,500 self-only and $9,000 family, plus the $1,000 catch-up at 55.
  • 2027 Social Security (SSA notice, Federal Register Oct. 26, 2026): COLA 3.6%, wage base $192,300, earnings test $25,560 under full retirement age and $67,920 in the year you reach it.
  • The age 60-63 catch-up applies only if you are 60, 61, 62 or 63 on December 31. At 64 you drop back to the regular catch-up.
  • Roth catch-up rule: from 2026, if your prior-year FICA wages from the employer were over $150,000, catch-ups must be Roth. The final regulations apply from 2027 (IR-2025-91).
  • The IRS had not announced the 2027 401(k), IRA or SIMPLE limits on 2026-11-02. The tools say so and point to 2026.

Example prompts

  • "What is the 401k limit for 2026, and has the IRS announced 2027 yet?"
  • "I turn 61 this year and have a 401(k), an IRA and a family HSA. What is the most I can contribute in 2026?"
  • "I earned $180,000 in FICA wages last year. Do my 2026 catch-up contributions have to be Roth?"
  • "What is the Social Security COLA for 2027 and the new wage base?"
  • "How much can I earn in 2027 before Social Security withholds benefits if I am 64?"
  • "Compare the HSA limits for 2026 and 2027."

Data sources

Every figure comes from irs.gov or SSA's official Federal Register notice, fetched on 2026-11-02: IRS Notices 2024-80 and 2025-67, Rev. Procs. 2024-25, 2025-19 and 2026-24, Pub. 969, IR-2025-91, and SSA's "Cost-of-Living Increase and Other Determinations" notices for 2025, 2026 and 2027. See DATA_SOURCES.md.

Limitations

  • General information, not tax advice. Your plan can be stricter than the law (many plans do not offer the age 60-63 catch-up).
  • 2027 401(k), IRA, SIMPLE, 415(c) and HCE limits were not published on 2026-11-02. They will be added when the IRS announces them.
  • Not covered: the 403(b) 15-year catch-up, the 457(b) final-three-years catch-up, employer contribution formulas, IRA deduction phase-outs and Roth IRA partial-contribution math.
  • The maximum Social Security benefit at full retirement age is left out: it is on SSA's fact sheet, which could not be fetched from this build host.
