Participant Summary Overview:

  • Contribution types

    You may make Pretax, Roth and After-tax contributions to your plan. You may contribute up to $18,500, plus and an extra $6000 if you over age 50, Pretax and/or Roth. Your account may not receive more than $55,000, plus an extra $6,000 if you’re over age 50, total/max (including pretax, roth, after-tax and employer contributions) for 2018. Participant contributions are always 100% vested.

  • Safe Harbor Contribution

    Your employer matches your 1st 3% dollar for dollar and your next 2% at 50%. Effectively, if you put in 5%, you get a 4% match. This money is always 100% vested.

  • Employer Match

    Your employer also matches the next 10% of your contributions at 0.25%. Effectively, if you put in 15% then you get the 4% Safe Harbor Match plus an additional 2.5%. You are leaving additional compensation “on the table” if you are contributing less than 15%. This money vests 20%/year of service so that after 5 years you are 100% vested.

  • Profit Sharing

    This is an optional amount of profit sharing that your employer may make if the business is profitable and the company decides to make additional contributions to your account. The amount you receive is based off of your years of service, salary, age, and job classification. This contribution source is not guaranteed every year and is made at the discretion of management. The money also vests 20%/year of service.

  • 404(a)(5) Participant Fee Disclosure

    This report discloses all fee within the plan that it is transparent and you understand who is receiving what compensation for which services: View your 404(a)(5) Participant Fee Disclosure.

Here is a practical example to help you understand what you pay:

  • Participant Fee Example:

    1 – 0.7% rF + 0.1% TPA + 0.04% Custodian = 0.84%
    2 – Avg fund management fee = 0.5%
    3 – Total ~1.34%/yr.

    If your account balance was $30,000 then you are paying approximately $402/yr. for your 401k retirement account/services.
