Jackie Beck The standard 457(b) contribution limits (also known as elective deferral limits) are below for 2025 and prior years. Note that you cannot put in more than 100% of your includable compensation, so that’s your max if that is less than the limits below.

While that is the standard, some 457(b) plans have even better catch-up contribution limits if you are within 3 years of retiring. This is called a last 3-year catch-up.
That allows you to contribute either twice the annual 457(b) limit OR the annual 457(b) limit, plus amounts allowed in prior years that you didn’t contribute.
Some 457(b) plans may also let you make larger catch-ups if you have at least 15 years of service with the same employer. This is called the 15-year rule.
The catch-up contribution rules around a 457(b) are pretty complicated, to say the least. Even the IRS site says to talk to a pro to make sure you’re following the rules.
However, putting more than 100% of your annual salary in is not allowed, no matter what.
