Profit Sharing Plan/Money Purchase Plan (PSP/MPP)

A Profit-Sharing plan is a good way to reward employees for a job well done. Contributions are discretionary, so in lean years, the employer can opt out of making a contribution. However, a Money Purchase Plan does require annual employer contributions.

Generally, any employee who is at least 21 and has completed a year of service is eligible to participate in either of these plans. A Qualified trust must be established and an Annual Form 5500 must be filed. The deadline to establish a new plan is the last day of the fiscal (plan) year.

Additional Features:
Maximum contributions: Lesser of 100% of participant’s compensation or $53,000 (this number is indexed with inflation).
Employer contributions: Discretionary if profit-sharing plan; required if money purchase plan.

Participant contributions: Not allowed.
Benefit at retirement: Account balance for PSP and an annuity purchased by account balance for MPP
