Cash Balance Plan
A cash balance plan may be suitable for business owners that want to accelerate their retirement savings while offering potential tax benefits.
Cash Balance Plan
Cash balance plans are often referred to as a “hybrid” retirement plan because it combines some of the features of a defined contribution plan, such as a 401(k) plan, and a defined benefit plan. While a traditional defined benefit plan provides for a specific benefit at retirement (typically a specified monthly payment amount), a cash balance plan provides the benefit at retirement in the form of an account balance.
- Participants receive a set percentage of their yearly compensation plus interest charges.
- Contribution limits increase with age. Therefore, older business owners seek out these types of plans to accelerate their retirement savings.
