There is no limit set by IRS on a per month basis, however there is an annual limit to your contributions. Some employers do create restrictions on how much of your salary you can contribute, but that varies from employer to employer. Assuming that you want to maximize your 401k for the year and you want to contribute an even amount per month, then you would contribute $16,500/12 = $1,375 per month. This does not include your employer match.
