Can a Cash Balance Plan help you save more than in a 401k?
For some investors, a Cash Balance Plan makes it possible to save much more for retirement than is possible in a 401(k) alone. This calculator estimates how much a business owner may contribute to a Cash Balance + 401(k) Combo Plan. (This illustration is for an owner-only business.)

The bar chart provides an estimate of contributions for Year 1 and Year 2 of the plan. The law provides a permissible range of contributions for cash balance plans as calculated actuarially each year. Profit Sharing and 401(k) contributions are not mandatory in solo plans; however, profit sharing contributions are mandatory in plans with employees. Cash balance plans must be funded at a minimum level.
