Individual 401 (k) Plans

An individual 401 (k) plan for owner-only-businesses, those with no employees other than the owner's spouse and no plans to add employees in the near future.

Key Benefits of an Individual 410 (k) Plan:

  • Works like a 401 (k)
  • Both salary deferrals and profit sharing contributions are discretionary. You do not have to make deferrals or a profit sharing contribution each year.
  • Rollovers from other eligible plans, including traditional IRAs, are permitted for consolidation ease.
  • Contributions are tax deductible, and earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis.
  • Loans are available.


Who Can Establish:

  • Owner-only businesses with no employees other than the owners and their spouses. If you have employees or anticipate hiring in the near future, this plan is not appropriate for you.

Annual Contributions:

  • All contributions are discretionary. Compensation is earned income for self-employed individuals or unincorporated businesses.
  • The maximum salary deferral contribution is the lesser of $13,000 or 100% of your compensation.
  • The profit sharing contribution cannot exceed 25% of your eligible compensation.
  • Combined contributions (both salary deferrals and profit sharing) cannot exceed the lesser of 100% of compensation of $41,000.
  • Additional catch-up contributions of up to $3,000 are available if you are age 50 or older.


Individual 401 (k) Candidates:

  • Corporation, partnerships, sole proprietorships, and nonprofit entities that have no full time employees.
  • Owner-only business with part-time or seasonal employees that can be excluded from plan coverage.
  • Owner-only businesses with their spouse being the only employee.
