Alert: Time is Running Out for IL Small Businesses to do Better than the Secure Choice Retirement Plan the State Offers

If you are reading this page, you are probably one of thousands of Illinois small business owners researching the best retirement option for your business and your employees before the upcoming deadline.

By November 1st, 2022, all Illinois businesses with 16-24 employees will be required to sign up for the one-size-fits-all, state-provided Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or select an eligible retirement plan with a private provider. When making a choice between an IRA and a private 401(k), you need to be aware of the key differences between those two products:

  • 401(k) plans allow you to save more with a maximum contribution amount of $20,500 (over 3x higher than the Secure Choice IRA)
  • Only with a 401(k) can you have an additional annual employer contribution limit of $40,500 (not available with a Secure Choice IRA)
  • Flat fee structure – End up with more than $161,385 with us over 30 years¹​
  • Our 401(k) plan offers you up to $16,500 in tax credits over three years*

(*Up to $5,000 per year, plus an additional $500 per year for automatic enrollment for the first 3 years)

End Up With Over $161,385 More Money With a Ubiquity 401(k)

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Ubiquity has only flat fees that don’t cost you more as your retirement savings grow. But with IL’s state plan,your fee will get bigger and bigger as your retirementbalance grows over the years. Over 30 years you’ll end up with over $161,385 more money with us vs using the IL state plan. Thebetter plan is clear – the Ubiquity 401(k)!


Let’s look at the following example:
Jennifer and Joshua each have retirement plans that they contribute $6,000 to every year. Jennifer’s plan is with Ubiquity Retirement + Savings and her fees are flat $6/month. Joshua’s plan is with Secure Choice and his annual asset based % fee is 0.75%.

It grows an average of 10% every year. At the end of 30 years Jennifer’s account is worth $1,125,804, with fees of $1,800 with her Ubiquity 401(k).

Joshua’s account is only worth $964,413, with fees of $66,547. Ubiquity’s flat fees could help you end up with over $161,385 more money over 30 years vs. IL Secure Choice IRA.

¹ This calculation assumes the following scenario: Jennifer and Joshua each open retirement plans with $6,000 starting balance. Jennifer’s plan is with Ubiquity Retirement + Savings and her fees are flat $6/month. Joshua’s plan is with Secure Choice and his annual employee pricing fee is 0.75%. Assuming they contribute $6,000 each year for 30 years, and it grows an average of 10% every year, at the end of 30 years Jennifer’s account is worth $1,125,804 with fees of $1,800 with her Ubiquity 401(k). Joshua’s account is only worth $964,413 with fees of $66,547. Ubiquity’s flat fees could help you end up with $161,390 more money over 30 years vs. IL Secure Choice IRA.
