Secure 2.0 and What It Means for Plan Sponsors

The passage of Secure 2.0 means there’s never been a better time to open a 401(k) plan for your small business. Combining the new law’s benefits with our affordable, flat fees¹ is a double win for small businesses like yours and your employees. We’ve created this quick guide of Secure 2.0 highlights to help you maximize your Secure 2.0 benefits.

3 Biggest Benefits for Small Businesses

Three years of tax credits that fully pay for new 401(k) setup and admin fees. Your small business with up to 50 employees can now get a credit of up to 100% of plan expenses (not to exceed $5,000 annually). Over 3 years, this credit could be worth $15,000!
Automatic enrollment credit of $500 per year to employers whose plans have automatic enrollment. Credit is applied each year for the first 3 years of the plan. With Secure 2.0, certain plans will be required to have auto-enrollment, and starting in 2025, auto-enrollment will be required universally.
Employer match credit granted to small business employer matching contributions to an employee’s 401(k), up to $1,000 of credit per employee per year.

Secure 2.0 delivers additional retirement plan benefits for small business owners. Read on for more detailed information.

Save More, Save Longer

Secure 2.0 also includes several other changes that enable savers to put away more money for a longer period. This helps when it comes to compound interest. When you invest in a 401(k), the money you add generates interest. This interest compounds year after year, as you earn interest on your interest.

Compounding Interest

Let’s assume a very modest ability to save and a so-so economy returning just 5%. If you put in $5,000 this month and contribute just $100/month to your 401(k), in 30 years’ time you could have $105,924 saved for retirement.

On the other hand, say you put in the maximum of $66,000 today and contribute at least that much every year for 30 years. You’d be sitting on $4.2 million or more for retirement.
