Safe Harbor 401(k)

PARTICIPANTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MAXIMUM SALARY CONTRIBUTIONS WITH A SAFE HARBOR 401(K)


Who is best suited for a Safe Harbor 401(k) plan?

  • A business with fewer than 25 employees.
  • The business owner must be willing to make the required “safe harbor” employer match or contribution to employees’ accounts as a percentage of their compensation.

A Safe Harbor 401(k) lets you contribute the maximum amount to your own account. This means you and your highly compensated employees can maximize tax-deferred contributions without the restrictions of a traditional plan that doesn’t require matching.

Contribution Features

  • Total contributions from both sources (employer and employee) may not exceed 100% of income or $55,000 per eligible participant.
  • The employer is required either to match employee contributions (100% of the participants’ first 3% of salary and 50% of the next 2% of salary) or provide a non-elective contribution (3% of salary for all eligible employees).
  • All participants can make the maximum salary deferral contribution.
  • Contributions can be pretax, after-tax (Roth deferral contributions) or both.
