In the latter case, IRAs can be a bit restrictive, with yearly contribution limits of just $7,000 for adults under 50 and $8,000 for adults 50 and older in both 2024 and 2025.
The maximum employee share in 2012 is reduced to $4,624.20, but the maximum employer share remains at $6,826.20. Effectively, this was a 4.2% rate charged to the employee, and 6.2% rate to the employer. This resulted in an approximately 40/60 split but reduced the total contribution.
However, if you are age 50 or older, the IRS allows “catch-up” contributions, beefing up the total maximum contribution level. Here are the catch-up contribution amounts for 2023 and 2024: 401 ...
For 2024, the standard contribution limit is $7,000 and the catch-up contribution adds $1,000. The standard IRA contribution limit is adjusted for inflation over time. For example, it increased ...
Thus, the overall contribution limit (barring limits) is 20% of 92.9% (that is, 18.6%) of net profit. For example, if a sole proprietor has $50,000 net profit from self-employment on Schedule C, then the "1/2 of self-employment tax credit", $3,532, shown on adjustments to income at the bottom of form 1040, will be deducted from the net profit ...
In 2024, federal income tax rates remain at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. While these rates stay the same for 2025, the income thresholds for each bracket will adjust for inflation.

A large income boost might take direct Roth IRA contributions off the table anyway, but Roth 401(k)s don't have income limits. However, Roth accounts are funded with after-tax dollars.
