The cap on regular investments in the TSP will increase to $18,000 from $17,500 in 2015 and the limit on “catch-up contribution” investments—additional investments allowed for those 50 or older in a calendar yearwho make the full regular investment—will rise to $6,000 from $5,500. The limits apply to the total of traditional pre-tax investments and after-tax Roth investments, for those making both types; they don’t include agency contributions on behalf of FERS-covered employees or rollovers from similar plans of prior employers. The dollar caps are inflation-adjusted but increase only after accumulated inflation since the previous adjustment has exceeded a certain level. The $17,500 figure applied in 2013 and 2014 after rising from $17,000, while the $5,500 figure had been in place since 2009 after rising from $5,000.
