This paper addresses three questions related to limits on DC contributions. The first is whether statutory limits on tax-deductible contributions to defined contribution (DC) plans are likely to be binding, focusing on households in various economic situations. The second is how large is the tax benefit from participating in defined contribution plans. The third is how does the defined contribution tax benefit depend on the level of lifetime income. The methodology used in this paper is simulations, that is, to run a number of stylized households through Economic Security Planner (ESPlanner), a sophisticated planning model of optimal saving and consumption over the life cycle.
