Market-Rate Cash Balance Plan
Put our defined benefit plan experience to work for you
Sponsoring a defined benefit plan in today’s economy comes with challenges. BOK Financial can help you navigate these complexities.
Here's how our market-rate cash balance plan can help:
Scenarios based on executives age 52 at separate companies with annual compensation of $330,000 with contributions to a company-sponsored 401(k) plan.
$30k annually
The maximum annual deferral is $22,500. However, since executive #1 is over age 50, she can contribute an additional $7,500 in “catch-up” contributions.
$280.5k annually
In addition to the first scenario, executive #2 has a cash balance plan in place and may be able to contribute up to an additional $250,500 in pre-tax income based on the specific demographics of his company.
Are you searching for solutions to help accelerate saving for retirement and reduce taxable income beyond a 401(k) and profit sharing?
Consider a cash balance plan, which offers many advantages:
- Maximize retirement contributions
- Reduce taxable income
- Recruit and retain key talent
With this defined benefit plan, participants' lump sum payments after retirement are determined in advance.
Three questions to consider
Business owners deciding whether to offer a cash balance plan should ask themselves the following:
- Have I maxed out 401(k) contributions and profit sharing?
- Do I have an appetite and ability to put money in a cash balance plan for the next three years?
- Am I also willing and able to contribute 6% of employees’ pay to their retirement savings (6% total, taking into account all employer-offered retirement plans)?
Is a cash balance plan right for your business?
