Catch-Up Contributions

By Posted Kyle Rolek

A recent survey found that 37% of people were very confident about having enough money to live comfortably through their retirement years. At the same time, 28% were not confident.¹

Congress in 2001 passed a law that can help older workers make up for lost time. But few may understand how this generous offer can add up over time.²

The “catch-up” provision allows workers who are over age 50 to make contributions to their qualified retirement plans in excess of the limits imposed on younger workers.

How It Works

Contributions to a traditional 401(k) plan are limited to $18,000 in 2016. Those who are over age 50—or who reach age 50 before the end of the year—may be eligible to set aside up to $24,000 in 2016.³

Setting aside an extra $6,000 each year into a tax-deferred retirement account has the potential to make a big difference in the eventual balance of the account. And, by extension, in the eventual income the account may generate. (See accompanying illustration.)

Catch-Up Contributions and the Bottom Line

This chart traces the hypothetical balances of two 401(k) plans. The blue line traces a 401(k) account into which the maximum regular annual contributions are made each year, but no catch-up contributions. The green line traces a 401(k) account into which the maximum regular and full catch-up contributions are made each year.

Upon reaching retirement at age 67, both accounts begin making payments of $4,000 a month.

The hypothetical account without catch-up contributions will be exhausted by the time its beneficiary reaches age 83.

Retirement Planning and Monte Carlo Simulations

Posted by Kyle Rolek, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

President, Rolek Retirement Strategies

Many people use an average rate of return to calculate how much they will need for retirement. This method fails to account for market ups and downs that will occur throughout retirement, causes inaccurate planning results, and can create a false sense of confidence.

The Monte Carlo Probability of Success indicates the likelihood of funding all of your goals based on portfolio volatility. This accounts for inevitable market swings and paints a far more accurate picture of what retirement will really look vs. using an average rate of return.

The Monte Carlo result calculates a probability of success by simulating thousands of possible return sequences. This probability of success accounts for portfolio volatility based on the return and standard deviation of your portfolio. An 82% Probability of Success tells us that if we ran the plan 10,000 times, varying the portfolio return every year, the plan would successfully fund 100% of the goals 8,200 times. In the remaining 1,800 scenarios, there would be some sort of shortfall in funding the goals. The graph below displays 1,000 Monte Carlo trials that help illustrate to the client the concept of Monte Carlo and the impact of volatility on their portfolio value.
