Employer contributions are in addition to your elective deferrals. *Employers can choose from one of three contribution options: 1) Match employee deferrals dollar-for-dollar, up to three percent of the employee’s compensation (compensation includes employee deferrals); 2) Two percent nonelective contribution to all eligible employees (even to those employees who decided not to defer) *; or 3) Elect to match a lower percentage (but not lower than one percent). This option is allowed for only two years of any five-year period***
**The two percent nonelective contribution is based on two percent of the eligible employee’s compensation, up to the compensation cap. For 2019, the compensation cap is $280,000 and for 2020, the compensation cap is $285,000. ***The five-year period includes the current year and the prior four years. If during the five-year period there are years where the SIMPLE IRA plan was not yet established or the employer made nonelective contributions to the plan, the employer is considered as having satisfied the three percent matching contribution requirement for those specific years.
