What is a 401(k) Plan?

A 401(k) plan is a company sponsored qualified retirement plan in which contributions are deducted from an employee’s paycheck before taxes are withheld. Contributions and earnings in a 401(k) plan are not subject to federal and most state income taxes until the funds are withdrawn.  401(k) plans can be employer and employee funded or employee funded only.  SEP, SIMPLE, and 401(k) Comparisons

SEP retirement plans are exclusively funded by the employer. They are easy to set-up and maintain, but they have no employee contribution or loan options.      

SIMPLE retirement plans are funded by both the employer and employee. They are simple to set-up, have low administrative responsibilities, and no minimum employee participation limits, but they have relatively low maximum contribution limits and no loan options. 

401(k) retirement plans can be funded by both the employer and employee or exclusively by the employee. They have more options and flexibility to maximize annual retirement contributions, a tax-free loan option, and catch-up contribution provisions, but they potentially have greater administrative responsibilities and costs.     

If a 401(k) Plan was not a company option, due to its potential complexity and cost, let NAWT help you make this demanding, cluttered marketplace a convenient, cost-effective world where you have the peace of mind that comes with assistance from retirement plan experts.
