    SEP IRAs provide retirement benefits for the business owners and their employees. There costs are relatively low. The contributions are based of 25% of your net income not to exceed the maximum limit of $51,000. There’s no catch up provision for SEP IRA contributors over age 50. SEP IRA are based on net income, so do the math first because you may discover that a 401k plan with catch up provisions may be a better deal for lower income filers.

    A simplified employee pension program is based on an IRA.  However, since it is sponsored by the employer the limit for contributions is much higher (25% of compensation up to $52,000.)  Each participant has a separate account.  There is a minimum contribution for each SEP participant of $550.  For additional information contact a life insurance agent that specializes in retirement programs.
