Supplemental Retirement Savings Plans
Supplemental Retirement Savings Plans
A supplemental retirement savings plan (defined contribution plan) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars through convenient payroll deductions to save for retirement. You choose a percentage of your salary to be invested in mutual funds available you select inside the retirement plan. The amount you have at retirement depends on how much you as the employee save in the plan, how long you keep those funds invested, and how well your investments perform inside the plan.
