What are Deferred Compensation Plans?


Deferred compensation plans are arrangements where a portion of an employee's income is set aside to be paid at a later date, typically during retirement. These plans can offer significant tax advantages by deferring income to a time when the employee may be in a lower tax bracket.


 

Why Deferred Compensation Plans Matter


1. Tax Deferral: By deferring a portion of your income, you can reduce your current tax liability and potentially pay taxes at a lower rate in the future.


2. Retirement Planning: Deferred compensation plans provide a way to save additional funds for retirement, supplementing other retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs.


3. Financial Flexibility: These plans offer flexibility in managing your income and tax obligations, helping you align your earnings with your financial goals.


4. Employer Incentives: For employers, deferred compensation plans can be an effective tool to attract and retain top talent by offering valuable retirement benefits.
