Why Cash Balance Plans Matter
Most high-income earners quickly hit the ceiling on 401(k) contributions—$23,500 (+ $7,500 catch-up) in 2025. A Cash Balance Plan, by contrast, can allow annual contributions of $100,000 to $300,000 or more, depending on age and income. Each dollar contributed is tax-deductible to the business, and the funds grow tax-deferred until retirement. It’s a smart way to convert current tax liabilities into long-term wealth.
How It Works
- Set Up the Plan: Your CPA and a qualified third-party administrator design the plan based on your income, age, and retirement goals.
- Make Tax-Deductible Contributions: Each year your company contributes to the plan—typically between $50,000 and $300,000 per participant.
- Earn Guaranteed Growth: Accounts earn an annual interest credit, often 4-5 percent or tied to Treasury yields, providing predictable growth.
- Access Funds at Retirement: Balances can be rolled into an IRA or taken as lifetime income.
When paired with an existing 401(k) or profit-sharing plan, a Cash Balance Plan becomes a “combo plan” that can dramatically expand annual deductions while building retirement savings faster.
Who It Fits Best
- Practice owners and partners with consistent profits
- Physicians, attorneys, and consultants 45 and older looking to catch up on retirement
- Executives and family-owned businesses seeking larger deductions and wealth transfer opportunities
The Results in Real Numbers
Redirecting $1 million of taxes over 10–15 years into a Cash Balance Plan can grow into $3–$5 million in retirement savings, depending on investment performance. That’s money working for you, not gone to taxes.
