SEP Contributions are limited to 15% of the participant's annual income, never to exceed $30,000. Each year the IRS sets a limit on the total compensation amount that the employer can consider. For example, in 1997, only $160,000 of compensation was allowed to be considered for maximum contributions, so this brings the current maximum contribution to $24,000 (15% of $160,000).
