Pension Plan
A type of retirement plan, usually tax exempt, wherein an employer makes contributions toward a pool of funds set aside for an employee's future benefit. The pool of funds is then invested on the employee's behalf, allowing the employee to receive benefits upon retirement.
Profit Sharing Plan
A profit sharing plan is a type of plan that gives employers flexibility in designing key features. It allows the employer to choose how much to contribute to the plan (out of profits or otherwise) each year, including making no contribution for a year. The amount allocated to each individual participant account is usually based on the salary level of the participant (employee).
401(k) Plan
A 401(k) is a retirement savings plan sponsored by an employer. It lets workers save and invest a piece of their paycheck before taxes are taken out. Taxes aren't paid until the money is withdrawn from the account.
In most 401(k) plans, the employer will make a matching contribution, which can be determined at plan set up. Matching contributions from the employer tend to encourage participation in the plan.
Benefits of a 401(k) Plan
- Attract & retain quality employees
- Employees can accumulate a potentially sizable retirement account from contributions and return on investments
- Compounded earnings are tax-deferred
- Allow two types of contributions; pre-tax and Roth contributions
- All contributions made on behalf of employees are tax-deductible expenses for the company
