It depends on the model year of your iMac.

The model year of an iMac is available at Apple menu > About This Mac.

A late 2015 or mid 2015 iMac can be upgraded to the latest version of Monterey macOS 12 but no later. 

A 2017 iMac can be upgraded to the latest version of Ventura macOS 13 but no later. 

For all of the above, see instructions in: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support

A 2019 or later iMac can be upgraded to the current version of Sequoia macOS 15. See: How to upgrade to macOS Sequoia - Apple Support
