Corporate Retirement Plans
must involve participation from a company with the establishment of the plan. These plans can be funded strictly by employee contributions, strictly by employer contributions, or a combination of both employee and employer contributions. A 401(k) is a very common type of corporate retirement plan.
Non-Profit Retirement Plans
like the 403(b), allow employees to save a portion of their salary through payroll deductions and the money withheld in these plans is not taxed until it’s withdrawn. Other plan formats are available for non-profits, including retirement plans funded by the employer or the classic pension plan that provides retirees with monthly payments that represent a percentage of the salary they had earned while employed.
