Profit Sharing
A plan option that can help business owners maximize tax benefits and reward their employees.
Profit Sharing
Profit Sharing is a type of employer contribution that can be utilized within a 401(k) plan to help business owners maximize their tax benefits in the plan.
What is Profit Sharing
Profit Sharing plans are a special kind of retirement plan that allow employers to make contributions to employees’ accounts based on company profitability.
Why Profit Sharing
Adding a Profit Sharing provision to the 401(k) plan allows the business owner to contribute up to $70,000 per year, compared to only $31,000 with a 401(k) plan alone.

A profit sharing plan can mean a lot of different things. The type that we are going to talk about today is related to a retirement plan. And there are really three main types of contributions an employer can make to a retirement plan. The first is a match contribution. The second is a safe harbor contribution. And the third is a profit sharing contribution. Which we’re going to talk little bit more about today. | The camera zooms in as the woman continues to speak. |
Profit sharing is a type of flexible contribution that allows business owners to save up to the IRS maximum of $64,500 per year. That contribution also is tax deductible and grows tax deferred. | The camera zooms back out. |
Profit sharing is a strategic tool for a business owner because it is both discretionary and flexible. A business owner can decide year-to-year whether to contribute and how much to contribute. It also has a 6-year vesting schedule. Which means that a business owner can incentivize employee retention. We are small business retirement specialists, which means we have the knowledge and expertise to help business owners implement these sophisticated strategies. | The camera zooms back in. |
