A Simplified Employee Pension IRA—a retirement plan for self-employed individuals and small business owners that allows employer contributions of up to 25% of compensation (up to the annual limit). SEP IRAs are easy to set up and have minimal paperwork, but only permit employer contributions (not employee deferrals), and all eligible employees must receive the same contribution percentage.
