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.
