The Ideal Cash Balance Plan balances the consultative options to address contribution concerns, business dynamics, and market fluctuation that often turn away perfect candidates.
First, What is a Cash Balance Plan?
- A Cash Balance Plan is a type of IRS-qualified retirement plan that operates under the rules of a defined benefit plan but gives the appearance of operating more like a defined contribution plan.
- The account grows annually by company contributions and an interest credit, which is guaranteed, rather than being dependent on the plan’s investment performance.
- Cash Balance plans offer Employers significantly larger contributions and tax savings opportunities.
