Self-Employment Retirement Plan Maximum Contribution
Compensation for a self-employed individual (sole proprietor or partner) is that person’s “earned income.”* 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). Use this calculator as a starting point to assess your potential maximum contribution amount for a Self-Employed 401(k), a SIMPLE IRA, or an SEP. *Earned Income = Net Profit – 1/2 of Self-Employment Tax – Contribution
