A 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan enables employees to save for retirement through easy payroll deductions and tax-advantaged investment growth. This plan allows both employers and employees to contribute to employee accounts. It offers flexibility, including options for pre-tax and Roth (after-tax) employee deferrals, with or without employer matching contributions. Additionally, employers may choose to make annual discretionary contributions and can select from various allocation formulas to tailor the plan to their specific objectives.
457 Plans are retirement savings options available to employees of government and qualifying non-profit organizations. Participants can make pre-tax contributions and may defer Roth (after-tax) contributions. Distributions from the plan do not impose an early withdrawal penalty if under age 59.5. The plan helps employees optimize their retirement savings.
MEPs allow multiple employers, typically within the same industry or trade association, to participate under a single plan structure.
A PEP lets unrelated employers participate in a single pooled 401(k) plan with different plan provisions per employer. PEPs are administered by a pooled plan provider and provide additional fiduciary coverage for employers.
A Cash Balance Plan is a defined benefit plan similar to a traditional pension that provides a specific benefit at retirement to eligible employees and can work in conjunction with an existing 401(k) plan.
