Many times, an owner in a 401(k)/ Profit Sharing Plan wants to contribute more money than the $49,000 or $54,500 (with Catch Up) defined contribution limits allow.
For 2009, the maximum contributions are: Salary Deferral
$16,500
Catch up (50+) 5,500
Profit Sharing 32,500
Total Contribution $54,500
 
Using the illustration below, compare the Combination Cash Balance/ 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan to the New Comparability Plan. Notice that the contribution for each owner increased from $54,500 to $143,000, yet the cost for the NHCEs is still minimal at $15,693.
