Delta, United, & American Market Based Cash Balance Plan
Here are 3 different strategies for maximizing savings in Market Based Cash Balance Plans for Delta, United, and American Airlines Pilots.
- The first strategy involves contributing as much money as possible to the plan before converting after-tax contributions into a Roth account. This allows you to contribute more considerable amounts when the company matches contributions and hits the $69,000 annual limit.
- The second strategy is to contribute nothing and let the company put in their 16-17% contribution, but this may not be the most financially beneficial option for some.
- The third strategy is to contribute to the 401k plan at a manageable rate while being careful not to let the company’s contribution reach the maximum limit before one’s contribution is fully funded.
