Depends on your income.

As long as you aren’t earning a high income to phase out the ability to contribute to a Roth, you can contribute $4,000 per year. If you are 50 or older, you can contribute an additional $1,000 per year for catch-up.

I’m pretty sure the earnings level phase out is somewhere around six figures if you are single and about $160k per year if you are married filing taxes jointly. It’s adjusted for inflation each year, so the levels will increase.

The maximum for a 401 (k) plan is $15,000, and the most for a Roth IRA is $4,000 for this tax year which ends April 15, 2008. You can contribute $5,000 only if you’re age 50 and over.

I think they changed 401k limits to 15,500 for this year.
