Are You Retirement Ready?

A profit-sharing 401(k) plan lets employers put aside a portion of their profits each year to contribute to employee's 401(k)s.

This lets them exceed the employer match limit, but they are also allowed to contribute less.

For 2024, they can contribute a maximum of $69,000 ($76,500 if an employee is over age 50) or 100% of the employee's salary, whichever is lower.
