401(k) Pricing FAQs

How much does a 401(k) cost for a small business?

The cost of a small business 401(k) varies depending on the plan provider, plan design, and number of employees (or if you’re operating solo). Traditional providers often charge asset-based (AUM) fees that increase as your assets grow, along with investment and administration fees. Providers with flat-fee 401(k) plans offer a more predictable alternative with a single, fixed monthly cost that doesn’t increase with your plan balance. This can make it easier for small businesses to manage costs in the long-term.

What is included in 401(k) plan administration and compliance support?

401(k) plan administration typically includes compliance testing, Form 5500 filing, participant notices, and ongoing plan management to meet ERISA and IRS requirements. Some providers also offer 3(16) fiduciary services, which help alleviate administrative responsibility. These services reduce risk, streamline operations, and keep you compliant year-round.  

What type of 401(k) plan is best for a small business?

The best 401(k) plan for a small business depends on your goals, budget, and workforce. Some businesses may prefer simpler, pre-designed plans while others need more flexibility for contributions, eligibility, and advanced plan design. Other plan options like a Safe Harbor 401(k) can also help business owners maximize contributions while avoiding certain testing requirements, while more customizable plans allow for more robust planning strategies.  

How long does it take to set up a new 401(k) plan?

Setting up a 401(k) can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on your plan provider and plan complexity. To help streamline the process, it’s important for businesses to understand their needs and goals upfront, and to have key paperwork handy.
