Small Business

Adding a Cash Balance plan to a 401(k) Profit-sharing plan currently in place can allow owners to invest significantly higher contribution limits. 

This illustration is common for what we see for a small business. In this scenario the business has two owners (a husband-and-wife couple) along with four additional employees.  

The owner wanted to make the maximum allowable Cash Balance contribution for her age (61) which results in a total contribution, including the 401(k) profit sharing plan, of $344,500. The Cash balance contribution largely depends on profitability and only a 7.5% of pay contribution for all other employees is required. 

This allows this married couple to save nearly $200,000 in taxes.
