Supplemental Retirement Accounts

Voluntary Supplemental Retirement Annuities

With a Supplemental Retirement Annuity, your contributions come from your salary automatically, before you get your paycheck. This contribution to retirement is set up as a tax sheltered annuity, where instead of paying income tax on it now, the tax will be paid on receipt of the funds after retirement. Voluntary Supplemental Retirement Annuities are offered through four vendors. You may direct the contribution to one or several vendors, and you select the account(s) in which your money is invested. These vendors are:

Supplemental Retirement Annuities offer you an easy and affordable way to accumulate important personal savings for retirement. Your contributions come from your salary automatically, before you get your paycheck - and before taxes are taken out. Because you report less current income, you pay less taxes on your earnings. All of your contributions go straight toward your retirement, free of federal taxes until you begin receiving income later on. Here is an example of how you save:

  Pre-tax Savings Savings in a Taxable Account
Annual Gross Salary $30,000 $30,000
6% of Pay Before-Tax Contribution -$1,800 $0
Taxable Pay $28,200 $30,000
Less 28% Federal Income Tax -$7,896 -$8,400
6% Regular Savings in a Taxable Account (from gross salary) $0 -$1,800
Take-Home pay $20,304 $19,800
Annual Difference in Take-Home pay $504
