How much more can I contribute to my 401(k) this year after I made some Roth IRA, Roth 401k, and 401k contributions?
I've just started a new job, and would like to max out my pre-tax 401(k) contributions before year end. I have contributed to various other investment accounts earlier this year and am struggling to figure out how much more I can contribute without going over the contribution limit.

My details are as follows:

Married, Filing Jointly

Gross Income < 0k

Roth IRA Contributions Year to Date: 00

Roth 401(k) Contributions Year to Date: 00

Pre-Tax 401(k) Contributions Year to Date: 00

Given this info, how much more do I need to contribute to hit the ,500 max for year end?

Specific questions include:

Do my Roth 401(k) contributions count towards my annual 401(k) contribution limits or are they separate? Roth IRA contributions are separate from both types of 401(k)'s right?

For the 2014 tax year, you can contribute 500 to a Roth 401K or pre-tax 401K with your income level if you are under 50. Both pre-tax and Roth 401K contributions count toward the 500 total, so you would need to contribute 400 to hit the maximum contribution for 2014.

More info is here: www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Roth-Comparison-Chart (the note at the bottom of the table explains combined contributions)

Your IRA contributions do not count toward your 401K total.
