Payroll Deduction IRA

Plan Types

An arrangement where an employer facilitates IRA contributions for employees by deducting contributions directly from their paychecks. Unlike employer-sponsored plans, the employer doesn't contribute funds or manage the investments—they simply provide a convenient way for employees to save. This is a simple option for small businesses that don't want to sponsor a full retirement plan.
