Ten Reasons for a Cash Balance Plan in 2013

Why should your clients look at a Cash Balance Plan before 12/31?

  • Access higher contribution potential than a 401(k) Plan: $100,000 plus depending on age and income
  • Catch up on lost savings opportunities
  • Protect  earnings from increased income tax rates and new Medicare tax
  • Accelerate retirement savings
  • Increase plan’s efficiency by combining with a 401(k) Plan
  • Help employees understand and appreciate value of contributions made by the company and retain key personnel
  • Gain access to pre-retirement accumulations in the event of an unforeseen need
  • Accommodate varying savings goals between business partners (e.g. senior partner nearing retirement and a junior associate)
  • Utilize as a buy-out tool to transition business ownership
  • Protect savings from judgment creditors
