401(k) Plan
A 401(k) plan is designed to help employees save for retirement while also offering considerable advantages and benefits to the employer. No matter the size of the company, establishing a 401(k) plan can be a win-win for a business owner and for their employees.
401(k) Benefits to Employer:
- can deduct contributions on the business’s federal income tax return, to the extent that the contributions do not exceed certain limitations
- investment gains and elective deferrals are tax-deferred until distribution
- a business tax credit of up to $500 each year for the first 3 years applied to plan startup expense
- allows business owners to attract and retain top talent in their industry and reduce employee turnover
401(k) Benefits to Employee:
- provides employees the opportunity to save pre-tax money that grows tax-deferred
- While employers are not required to offer a contribution, they have the option to contribute a certain dollar amount, regardless of employee salary or they may match a percentage of employee contributions up to a set portion of the employee’s salary.
403(b) Plan
A 403(b) plan is designed for tax-exempt organizations and public school systems. The features of a 403(b) plan resemble those of a traditional 401(k) plan.
SIMPLE 401(k) Plan
A SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees) 401(k) is designed to be a cost-effective retirement plan for businesses with 100 or fewer employees. A SIMPLE 401(k) works similar to a traditional 401(k), but as the name implies, it is a simplified version with no start-up or ongoing administrative costs. The employer has the option to annually match employee contributions up to 3% or make a non-elective 2% contribution of each eligible employee’s annual salary.
Solo 401(k) Plan
A Solo 401(k) is a retirement plan designed for business owners or self-employed individuals with no full time employees (apart from a spouse) who want to significantly increase their retirement savings. In many ways, a Solo 401(k) is similar to a traditional 401(k), however, the owner participates as both employer and employee. This allows the owner to set aside more money each year than they would be able to under a standard 401(k) or other small business retirement plan.
SEP IRA Plan
SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) IRAs are tax-deductible retirement accounts designed to benefit self-employed individuals and small business owners. Plans are funded solely by employer contributions. A SEP IRA allows for higher tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth, simple account maintenance and flexible contribution schedules. Any size or type of business can benefit from this flexible, simple retirement plan.
