SEP-IRA Plan
Maximum Contribution Calculator
Compensation for a self-employed individual (sole proprietor, partner or corporate owner) is that person's 'earned income'* in the case of a sole proprietor or partnership and W-2 income if the business is a corporation. The starting point to determine the individual's earned income is the net profit amount from the Schedule C (or Schedule K-1 for a partnership). W-2 income would come from the business' payroll records.Use this calculator to determine your maximum contribution amount for a Self-Employed 401(k), SIMPLE IRA and SEP. Do not use this calculator if the business employs additional eligible employees.
*Earned Income = Net Profit - 1/2 of Self-Employment Tax - Contribution
