Paired Plan
Definition of "Paired plan"
Plan that combines a profit sharing plan with a money purchase plan. It permits the participant to maximize the flexible part of the combination (profit sharing plan) after satisfying the requirements for the annual contributions to the money purchase plan. Under this combination plan, the maximum annual contribution is 25% of the earned income subject to a maximum of $30,000. For example, if the participant desired to contribute annually the 25% maximum amount of earned income, the participant could commit to making a 15% annual contribution to the money purchase plan and then contribute the remainder to the profit sharing plan if business conditions permit. The only mandate contribution each year would be the 15% of earned income to the money purchase plan.
