WHAT IS A QUALIFIED PLAN?
A retirement account established by the employer for the benefit of the employee.
Allows the employer a tax deduction for contributing to the plan.
Employees make contributions on a pre-tax basis and earnings are invested and grow tax-deferred.
Employees cannot take distributions (withdrawals) until he or she reaches age 59 ½.
Employees are required to take distributions at age 70 ½ (Required Minimum Distributions or RMDs).
There are 2 types of qualified plans:
1.Defined Benefit - Employer makes contributions, benefits guaranteed (e.g., PENSION PLAN).
2.Defined Contribution - Employee makes contributions, employer can make contributions, no guarantees (e.g., 401k Plan).
401k PLAN EXAMPLE
Here is an example of contributing on a pre-tax basis:Assume you earn $40,000 per year and pay 25% in income taxes. If you contribute $6,000 of that to your 401k, you won’t have to pay tax on the $6,000. CONTRIBUTE TO 401k DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO 401k
Gross Salary $40,000
Gross Salary $40,000
401k Contributions -$6,000
401k Contributions - 0
Taxable Income $34,000
Taxable Income $40,000
Income Tax Rate x 25%
Income Tax Rate x 25%
Income Tax Paid $8,500
Income Tax Paid $10,000
To provide retirement income for ourselves and our families.
To defer paying taxes.
401ks allow you to take a loan from your account (NOT A SMART MOVE)

WHY SHOULD WE ESTABLISH A 401k PLAN?
Your contributions simply come out of your paycheck, on a pre-tax basis.
Example: Patty earns $80,000 a year working for Microsoft as a computer programmer. She contributes 13% of her salary to her 401k plan. How much, in dollars, does she contribute each MONTH to her 401k plan?
Monthly Contributions to 401k= (Salary * % Contribution)/12
Monthly Contributions to 401k= ($80,000 * 13%)/12
Monthly Contributions to 401k= $866.67 per month

HOW DO WE CONTRIBUTE TO A 401k PLAN?
10
WHAT IS AN ESOP?
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
A defined contribution plan by which the investments are primarily in the employer’s stock.
11
WHAT IS MATCHING & VESTING?
Matching is a type of contribution an employer chooses to make to an
employee’s 401k plan.
•The employee’s maximum contribution in 2013 = $17,500•On average, employers MATCH between 0-6% of the employee’s salary.•The combined contribution amount cannot exceed $51,000.
12
WHAT IS MATCHING & VESTING?
For Example:CONTRIBUTE TO 401k DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO 401k
Gross Salary $50,000
Gross Salary $50,000
401k Contributions $6,000
401k Contributions $0
Employer Match $3,000 50% Match or 6% of salary
Employer Match +$0
Total Contributions $9,000
Total Contributions $0
$3,000 in FREE Money that you can invest!!

WHAT IS MATCHING & VESTING? (Cont’d)
VESTING is the process by which the employee earns a non-forfeitable right to benefits funded
by employer contributions.
Employees are always 100% vested in their own contributions.
Employees are usually 100% vested in employer contributions after 3+ years.
14
LET’S PRACTICE…
Mike is 40% vested in his 401k plan. The employer’s contribution represents $10,500 of the total value of the plan. His contributions represent $50,000 of the total value of the plan. What is the total VESTED value of his 401k ? Solution:
Vested Value of 401(k) = (% vested * employer contribution) + Total value of employee contributions
Vested Value of 401(k) = (40% * $10,500) + $50,000
Vested Value of 401(k) = $54,200
