===============HEADER ROW===============
//cell a01 value = DIV #

  • The Div # is simply a group identifyer that is used to group how money is allocated in a plan design.
  • The three groups in this example are (1) the owener, (2) the spouse of the owner, and (3) the employees.

 

cell a02 value = NAME
  • A cash balance plan usually includes all full time employees of the company.
  • Real names have been taken out of this example and replaced with generic names.

 

cell a03 value = AGE
  • The age of all people covered in a plan ends up being important as the IRS has different rules for individuals based on their age.

 

cell a04 value = COMPENSATION
  • This is the W-2 (or earned income) amount paid to each person.
  • With good retirment planning, we can prevent individuals from having to pay high tax rates (sometimes 40% or more) on this amount by allocating income to retirement accounts that can be shown as business expenses rather than taxable income.

 

cell a05 value = 401 (K)
  • This is the amount of money that will be deposited into a 401(k) account for each person in the plan.
  • Cash balance plans are very often done in combination with 401(k) plans in order to offer the most tax saving benefits.
  • 401(k) contributions must adhere to non-discrimination testing rules set by the IRS.
  • The maximum amount that can be contributed to a 401(k) is set by the IRS each year. In 2014, that maximum amount is $23,000 for people over 50 and $17,500 for everyone else.

 

cell a06 value = SAFE HARBOR
  • This is the amount of money that will be deposited into a safe harbor account for each person in the plan.
  • It is often practical to include safe harbor plans as part of a complete retirment plan as they allow 401(k) plans to be managed without some of the complex non-discrimination testing rules that are in place without a safe harbor account.
  • Safe harbor accounts are not subject to the same complex non-discrimination testing rules set by the IRS like profit sharing and cash balance plans are.
  • To have a safe harbor account, all non-owner employees must be given at least 3% of pay for their safe harbor account.
  • One stipulation is that safe harbor contibution amounts must be declared 30 days before a tax year begins. Thus, it is only done if the employer knows it will be easily afforded without interrupting cash flow.
  • Safe Harbor plans must be 100% vested which means they must be fully funded and that anyone who leaves the company is entitled to 100% of their share of the money regardless of how long they worked at the company.

     

    cell a07 value = PROFIT SHARING
  • This is the amount of money that is deposited into a profit sharing account for retirement.
  • Profit sharing accounts are subject to the complex non-discrimination testing rules set by the IRS.
  • Profit sharing contribution amounts are not determined until the taxes for the year are due, including extensions.
  • Profit sharing is generally consider an 'expensive way' for employers to allocate money as part of a retirement plan since they are required to share a higher percentage of that money with their employees.
  • Profit sharing accounts can be vested for up to 6 years meaning that any employee who has worked for the company for less than 6 years forfiets their share.

 

cell a08 value = CASH BALANCE
  • This is the amount of money that is deposited into a cash balance account.
  • Cash balance plan contributions must adhere to non-discrimination testing rules set by the IRS.
  • Besides a 401(k), cash balance plans are often thought of as the 'least expensive' way for employers to allocate money for retirement since the allocations can usually be heavily weighted towards company owners.
  • Cash balance contributions can be vested for up to 3 years which means that employees are not entitled to their share of the funds unless they have worked for the company for at least 3 years.
  • Cash balance investments are managed by the plan sponsor and not by each individual covered in the plan. A rate of return on the investment is then gauranteed by the plan sponsor.

 

cell a09 value = TOTAL ALLOCATIONS
  • The total allocations are the sum of the contributions from the 401(k), safe harbor, profit sharing, and cash balance accounts.
  • This is the money that the business owners can claim as a business expenses rather than income. Thus, the more money that is allocated in this column, the less money that will be taxed as income by the IRS.

 

cell a10 value = %
  • The percentage of total retirement plan contributions going to each person.
  • Generally with income tax rates for high income earners being in the 30%-50% range, any percentage greater than 80% for the owners makes for a good plan design.
  • With the amount that goes to the employees, they are getting a benefit which should be factored into their total compensation package.

 

===============HCE ROW===============
//cell b01 value = HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES (HCE'S)

  • Just like the cash balance plan document, this report has been divided up into groups to explain how money must is being allocated to each group of people within a company.
  • Highly compensated employees usually include all the owners of the company.
  • This structure allows for employees to be easily added and removed from the plan and also allows for very customized allocation structures for owners and other highly compensated individuals.

 

===============OWNER ROW===============
//cell c01 value = 1

  • The owner has his or her own division in this plan design.
  • In the lower right area of this report highlighted in green, you can see a summary of the different percentage of funds allocated for tax savings to each group.

 

cell c02 value = Owner
  • As this example for a small dental or legal office, this row is could be thought of as the dentist or lawyer who operates the practice and owns the majority of it as well.

 

cell c03 value = 64
  • At age 64, our dentist or lawyer may be nearing retirement.
  • IRS rules allow for a larger 401(k) contribution due to the fact that this person is over 50.

 

cell c04 value = $245,000.00
  • This amount would all be taxed as regualr income if there were no retirement planning going on.
  • It should be noted that in our example, this person may have made more than $245,000. However, the IRS sets a limit on the amount of yearly compensation that is used to determine how much money can be put into a cash balance plan.
  • The 2013 limit is $245,000. Thus, any amount over that will not be elegible to be put in a cash balance plan and for the purpose of this report, it does not make sense to include any amount over the maximum set by the IRS.

 

cell c05 value = $22,000.00
  • In this example from 2013, $22,000 is the maximum 401(k) contribution allowed by the IRS for a person who is 64 years old.
  • As 401(k) plans offer the most tax incentives, it makes sense to deposit the maximum in this account as long as it can be afforded.

 

cell c06 value = $0.00
  • Since safe harbor contribution percentages must be decided upon at least 30 days before a tax year, owners often opt to set their percentage to 0.
  • The amounts that get allocated to owners within different retirement accounts is often combined when taking into account limits imposed by the IRS, thus the owner would be able to claim less profit sharing or cash balance tax saving benefits if they claimed the benefits in their safe harbor account.
  • It's the job of our actuaries to give the best plan design which will give the most overall benefits for a company owner.

 

cell c07 value = $13,475.00
  • In our example, the owners have elected to include a profit sharing account as part of the overall retirment plan benefits.
  • The amount here is determined by the complex non-discrimination testing rules as well as other limits and rules as by the IRS.
  • If you want to understand the rules, limits and calculations, that go into determining this number, please search reirement plans on Wikipedia or should you be considering a plan for your business, our actuaries can help you understand the rules.
  • In our example, the amount for our primary owner has been calculated to be 5.5% of compensation or $13,475.00.
  • Having a profit sharing account allows owners to have extra tax savings, however as you can see in the green area of the report in the lower right corner, the percentage of money that must be given to employees as part of that benefit is actually higher than the percentage of money given to this majority owner.

 

cell c08 value = $220,500.00
  • The amount here is determined by the complex non-discrimination testing rules as well as other limits and rules as by the IRS.
  • If you want to understand the rules, limits and calculations, that go into determining this number, please search reirement plans on Wikipedia or should you be considering a plan for your business, our actuaries can help you understand the rules.
  • Within the guidelines of the IRS, the primary owner is allowed to put $220,500.00 into their cash balance plan.

 

cell c09 value = $255,975.00
  • The sum of all the retirment account allocations.
  • This is the amount that is now a business expense that is no longer taxable as income.
  • If we assume a 40% combined tax rate on the income, this plan example would result in a tax savings of $105,000 for this owner and spouse alone.

 

cell c10 value = 87.00%
  • This is the most important cell in the report for business owners who are considering offering a retirement plan that maximizes their savings.
  • It shows what percentage of the total allocations put towards retirement planning that will be retained by the primary owner.
  • Thus, of the $294,217.77 of total retirement planning allocations that will be made by the company with this plan, 87.00% of that money will be retained by the primary owner.
  • If you are a company owner who likes more money in your account, this percentage should excite you! Cash Balance Actuaries offer free plan proposals and would love to design a plan in your best interests today!

cell d02 value = Spouse
  • As this example for a small dental or legal office, this row is for the spouse of the primary owner of the business.

 

cell d03 value = 59
  • IRS rules allow for a larger 401(k) contribution due to the fact that this person is over 50.

 

cell d04 value = $24,500.00
  • This amount would all be taxed as regualr income if there were no retirement planning going on in combination with any other household income which would include the primary owner of the company.

 

cell d05 value = $22,000.00
  • In this example from 2013, $22,000 is the maximum 401(k) contribution allowed by the IRS for a person who is 59 years old.
  • As 401(k) plans offer the most tax incentives, it makes sense to deposit the maximum in this account as long as it can be afforded.

 

cell d06 value = $0.00
  • Since safe harbor contribution percentages must be decided upon at least 30 days before a tax year begins and because they must be fully funded throughout the year, the owners in this example have opted to set their percentage to 0.
  • The amounts that get allocated to owners within different retirement accounts is often combined when taking into account limits imposed by the IRS, thus the owner would be able to claim less profit sharing or cash balance tax saving benefits if they claimed the benefits in their safe harbor account.
  • It's the job of our actuaries to give the best plan design which will give the most overall benefits for a company owner.

 

cell d07 value = $1,506.75
  • In our example, the owners have elected to include a profit sharing account as part of the overall retirment plan benefits.
  • The amount here is determined by the complex non-discrimination testing rules as well as other limits and rules as by the IRS.
