401(k) Retirement

Saving for Life After Work

Access to retirement plans is one of the biggest hurdles in the U.S. workplace, and those who do have access to retirement saving options are 15 times more likely to utilize them. When the savings are automatic, people are five times more likely to participate in a retirement plan. While a majority of workers (75%) save through employer-sponsored retirement plans, more than half (56%) do not know the amount of money needed to retire.

Safe Harbor Profit-Sharing Contribution: A fully-vested non-elective contribution to all eligible employees equivalent to 3% of gross compensation.

Profit-Sharing Options

There are four types of profit-sharing contribution formulas used by employers

Traditional Method: Also referred to as the “pro-rata method,” each participant receives a proportional allocation based on eligible compensation. Contributions can be made in addition to 401(k) contributions.
Integrated Allocation Method: Employees who earn incomes that exceed the Social Security taxable wage base accrue no Social Security retirement benefits compensation paid in excess of that amount. Integrated profit-sharing contributions allow the employer to make an additional allocation to employees based on their compensation above the Social Security taxable wage base.
Age-Weighted Allocation Method: An age-weighted contribution allows an employer to allocate a contribution based on the compensation and age of the eligible employees. This method greatly benefits participants that are older and closer to retirement.
New Comparability Allocation Method: The new comparability plan, also known as “cross-tested,” allows the employer to divide employees into specific groups and allocate the contribution differently to each group. Compliance testing under a new comparability a llocation formula is achieved by either testing contributions alone or converting contributions to an Equivalent Benefit Accrual Rate.
