Is a cash balance plan the right fit for your company?

The cash balance plans Definiti services are typically used by professional companies such as a physician’s office or legal practice. The best fit are profitable companies with:

  • Consistent cash flow.
  • Owners who are 40 or older and are generally older than other staff.
  • Owners who need to maximize tax-deductible contributions beyond the contribution limits of a defined contribution plan.
  • Owners are behind on retirement savings goals and need to accumulate funds rapidly.
  • Owners who can afford to make larger contributions based on their age and compensation.

The Advantages of a 401(k) + Cash Balance Plan

Designated as an IRS-qualified “hybrid” plan, cash balance plan participants have an account that grows in two ways: through a defined contribution credit and an interest credit. The structure benefits employers and employees alike. Using a 401(k) with a cash balance plan side by side allows a plan sponsor to take advantage of flexible plan design and make higher retirement contributions while while enjoying a tax-sheltered strategy.

Reduced taxes
Investment Tax, Top Marginal Income, and Medicare Tax may be lowered or eliminated.

Accelerated savings
With significantly higher annual contribution limits than 401(k)s, participants can quickly build their pre-tax retirement savings.

Increased flexibility
Different contribution amounts can be specified for different participants groups. Participants can easily roll over their account to an IRA or another plan.

Enhanced protection
Assets are shielded from creditors in bankruptcies or lawsuits.
