aboutWhy 401(K) Plans?

401(k) plans can be a powerful tool in promoting financial security in retirement. They are a valuable option for businesses considering a retirement plan, providing benefits to employees and their employers.

Employers start a 401(k) plan for a host of reasons:

  • A well-designed 401(k) plan can help attract and keep talented employees.
  • It allows participants to decide how much to contribute to their accounts.
  • Employers are entitled to a tax deduction for contributions to employees’ accounts.
  • A 401(k) plan benefits employees and owners/managers.
  • The money contributed may grow through investments in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, money market funds, savings accounts, and other investment vehicles.
  • Contributions and earnings generally are not taxed by the Federal government or by most state governments until they are distributed.
  • A 401(k) plan may allow participants to take their benefits with them when they leave the company, easing administrative responsibilities.
