The Power of Tax Deferral 1 This hypothetical example assumes 0% annual rate of return, 32% combined federal and state tax rate and lump sum withdrawals.

Determining Your Contribution Amount You make two decisions when you decide to participate in Deferred Compensation: 1. How much to contribute? 2. Where to invest the contribution?

Determining Your Contribution Amount: Contribution Limits Minimum Contribution: The minimum contribution is $25 per pay period, or 1% of pay. Maximum Annual Contribution: For 2010, you can contribute up to a maximum of $16,500 or 100% of your includible compensation, whichever is less.

Catch-Up Provisions Pre-retirement catch-up provision allows you to catch-up on the past contributions you could have made but did not – up to twice the standard limit. Age 50+ catch-up provision. The schedule for the 50+catch-up is as follows: Year Additional Contribution 2010$ 5,500

For example, a contribution of $100 only reduces your take home pay by $68. ** *Limit for 2004: the lesser $13,000 or 100% of your includible compensation. Increases by $1,000 annually until 2006 and indexed thereafter. **Assumes a 32% combined Federal/State tax bracket
