Common Company Retirement Plans

Employer-sponsored retirement savings plans are designed with several goals in mind. Depending on the type of retirement plan, ML&R Wealth Management offers individualized administrative and advisory services.

These plans are often referred to as traditional retirement plans. Employees will receive a fixed monthly benefit at retirement and will not be responsible for making contributions to the plan.

Cash Balance Plan – A cash balance plan is a type of defined benefit plan designed to look more like the popular 401(k) plan but with the higher deductibility of a defined benefit plan. Click here to learn more about this innovative plan.

These are the most common company retirement plans today. The 401(k) is a defined contribution plan funded primarily by the employee, but often with an employer match and/or profit-sharing component. The participants choose which investments they wish to put their funds into. Click here for a list of reasons why you should adopt a 401(k).

These plans provide the benefits of a Roth IRA. Employee contributions are non-tax-deductible, however, distributions from the plan are tax-free once the employee is 59 and a half and has been in the plan for at least five years. Click here for a list of reasons why you should adopt a 401(k).

These plans are similar to 401(k) plans, but are designed for non-profit organizations, where employees are the primary funder of tax-deductible contributions.

These plans are similar to 401(k) plans with equal contribution limits.   However, they are designed for state and local government employees.

SIMPLE stands for Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees. The SIMPLE Plan is an IRA plan in which the employee makes tax-deductible contributions and an employer must match contributions of up to 3% of the employee‘s salary or make nonelective contributions.

The Simplified Employee Pension plan allows small businesses to administer a retirement plan for their employees, in which contribution limits are much more generous (25% of compensation or $56,000 for 2019).
