Cash Balance Plans
Under the right conditions a cash-balance plan combined with a 401(k) plan can give a
turbo boost to a small business owners retirement savings. A cash balance plan is like
traditional defined-benefit pension plans with a 401(k) twist. Participants receive a target
benefit at retirement but that target benefit is stated as an account balance rather than
as a monthly income stream. Cash-balance plans have generous contribution limits that
increase with age. People 60 and older can sock away well over $200,000 annually in
pretax contributions. SetAway works with business owners and investment advisors to
provide a detailed cost analysis that will determine if this plan design can work for you.
