what is the maximum contribution into a cash balance plan
Implementing and funding a Cash Balance Plan could substantially increase tax-deductible contributions resulting in significant tax savings to business owners. Under a 401(k) profit sharing plan, the 2013 maximum deductible contribution for an individual is $51,000 (or $56,500 for individuals over the age of 50). However, when a Cash Balance Plan is combined with a 401(k) plan, the deductible contribution for an individual can exceed the 401(k) plan maximum by a sizeable amount.
