Retirement plans for self employed
1. Traditional or Roth IRA
Best for Those just starting out or saving less
than 6,000 a year. If you are leaving a job to
start a business, you can also roll your old
401(k) into an IRA. IRA contribution limit Up to
6,000 in 2020, plus a 1,000 catch-up
contribution for those 50 or older. Tax
advantage Tax deduction on contributions to a
traditional IRA no immediate deduction for Roth
IRA, but withdrawals in retirement are
tax-free. Employee element None. These are
individual plans. If you have employees, they can
set up and contribute to their own IRAs.

2. Solo 401(k)
Best for A business owner or self-employed
person with no employees (except a spouse, if
applicable). Contribution limit Up to 57,000 in
2020 (plus a 6,000 catch-up contribution for
those 50 or older) or 100 of earned income,
whichever is less. To help understand the
contribution limits here, it helps to pretend
youre two people An employer (of yourself) and
an employee (also of yourself). In your capacity
as the employee, you can contribute as you would
to a standard employer- offered 401(k), with
salary deferrals of up to 100 of your
compensation or 19,500 (plus that 6,000
catch-up contribution, if eligible), whichever is
less. In your capacity as the employer, you can
make an additional contribution of up to 25 of
compensation.

4. SIMPLE IRA
Employee element Unlike the SEP IRA, the
contribution burden isnt solely on you
Employees can contribute through salary deferral.
But employers are generally required to make
either matching contributions to employee
accounts of up to 3 of employee compensation, or
fixed contributions of 2 to every eligible
employee. Choosing the latter means the employee
does not have to contribute to earn your
contribution. The compensation limit for
factoring contributions is 285,000 in 2020.

Best for A self-employed person with no
employees who has a high income and wants to save
a lot for retirement on an ongoing
basis. Contribution limit Calculated based on
the benefit youll receive at retirement, your
age and expected investment returns. Tax
advantage Contributions are generally tax
deductible, and distributions in retirement are
taxed as income. An actuary must figure your
deduction limit, which adds an administrative
layer.
