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:Â 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:Â 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:Â These plans offer flexibility in managing your income and tax obligations, helping you align your earnings with your financial goals.
4. Employer Incentives:Â For employers, deferred compensation plans can be an effective tool to attract and retain top talent by offering valuable retirement benefits.
