PlanForge Business Owner Tax Savings Calculator V2

401(k) Savings Calculator for Business Owners

See Exactly How Much Your Business Can Save

This free 401(k) savings calculator is designed specifically for small business owners. Enter a few details about your company and get a real-time estimate of your tax savings, employer tax credits, and net plan cost.

Most businesses with 15 to 75 W-2 employees qualify for SECURE Act 2.0 tax credits that can cover the full cost of a new 401(k) plan. A cross-tested plan design can also let the business owner contribute significantly more to their own retirement account, often at a fraction of what large-company owners pay.

Fill in your numbers below. If you want a full custom illustration built on your actual W-2 data, complete the ownership questionnaire or schedule a free consultation.

But there’s more to the picture.
Employee turnover means forfeited contributions flow back to your plan.
NET-ZERO COST
The SECURE Act 2.0 provides tax credits that cover your plan's startup and administration costs for the first 3 to 5 years. Most of our clients reduce 401(k) expenses by 90% or more. Many end up at net-zero or even net-positive. You are not adding a cost. You are redirecting money that was already going to the IRS.
MONEY BACK IN YOUR POCKET
With cross-tested profit sharing, you can contribute significantly more to your own retirement than your employees receive, all within IRS guidelines. Every dollar you contribute is tax-deductible. You decide how much to put in each year, and you can fund contributions after December 31st, up to your tax filing deadline. No mandatory match. No locked-in commitment. Full control.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
If the numbers you entered reflect your business, we will build you a free custom illustration using your actual W-2 Data or ownership questionnaire. No obligation. You will see exactly what your plan costs (and saves) in a side-by-side comparison. Takes one conversation.
YOUR TEAM BENEFITS TOO
Employees get access to a real retirement plan with self-directed investment options, including individual stocks. A vesting schedule protects your investment. Employees who leave early forfeit employer contributions back into the plan. You build loyalty with the people who stay.
