Welcome to the 401(k) fast lane.

Express(k) is designed for the businesses whose employees wish to contribute the most they can to a retirement plan to maximize their benefit.

How much can you contribute to the plan each year?

You can put away up to $17,000 per year in individual tax-deferred contributions (or $22,000 for those age 50 or older). Although it’s not required, employers do have the option to make a profit-sharing contribution for a total maximum contribution of $50,000 per individual (or $54,000 for those age 50 or older).

What kind of ongoing maintenance is required?

The Online 401(k) maintains your plan documentation, compliance testing and mandatory IRS form-filing requirements for you (additional fees may apply). This includes Forms 1099 and 5500 that must be filed for tax purposes.

What is the cost of the plan?

You’ll pay a flat fee of $495 to set up the plan, then a monthly fee based on the number of employees you have. Additional fees may apply based on optional features selected and/or investment fees charged by the custodian. Learn more about Express(k) pricing here.
