7. Tax Savings There are two forms of tax savings: ANNUAL ONGOING UNTIL RETIREMENT Annually, the typical Paychex owner will save 30%-40% on every dollar put into a retirement plan. While this is important, the true POWER of a 401k plan is the Tax-Deferred (or Tax-Free through Roth Provision) growth the tax law allows. Outside of Post-Tax Annuities, no other vehicle allows your savings to grow without being taxed on a yearly basis. This power allows retirement dollars to grow at an incredible rate with time.

12. Cannot Predict Future, can only Prepare for it In addition to the battle against inflation as you can see in the chart on the right, retirees are living longer and longer. Recent studies have shown that a typical retiree can expect to live 20+ years. Therefore, one must acquire a large nest egg.
13. Cannot Predict Future, can only Prepare for it How Big of a Nest Egg? According to current life-expectancy figures, you could live 20 to 30 years after you retire at 65. To make sure your savings last as long as you do, experts say, you can’t afford to withdraw more than 4% to 5% from your nest egg each year, adjusted annually for the rise in the cost of living. (Of course, you’ll also receive some income from Social Security.) Here’s how big a personal nest egg you’ll need at retirement, depending on the annual withdrawals you plan to take.
15. Retention of Current Employees If you’re not offering a retirement plan to your employees, don’t be surprised to lose them to a competitor that does! Misconceptions about 401(k)s could cost Small Business Owners By Lynn Gresham Forty percent of workers in small companies say they would leave their job for one that provided a 401(k) plan, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive and sponsored by ShareBuilder 401(k), a subsidiary of ING Direct. . . .
16. Retention of Current Employees Only 3 ways an owner can retain their employees: 1) $$$$ - Pay so much money that an employee cannot afford to leave. 2) ENVIRONMENT - Make the environment so great that employee doesn’t want to leave even though they can make more money elsewhere. 3) LOW-COST BENEFITS - For the cost of one half (1/2) of a person for health insurance, you can offer a retirement plan to your whole company.
