SEP

A SEP is a relatively simple retirement savings program for self-employed people or owners of small companies. The key features of a SEP include:

  • One of the easiest plans to administer
  • Allows employers to make tax-deductible contributions to each eligible employee’s retirement account
  • Contributions can be made for any amount up to 25% of each employee’s compensation (not exceeding $45,000 (2007 limit) with annual Cost-of-Living Adjustment)
  • Generally the contribution percentage must be the same for all employees
  • Contributions may be integrated with Social Security, allowing higher-paid individuals to receive a higher contribution percentage
