Frequently Asked Questions

Who uses a Solo 401(k)?

Solo 401(k) plans are commonly used by self-employed people or owner-only businesses who want a retirement plan with strong contribution flexibility.

Why compare a Solo 401(k) with a SEP IRA?

Both are popular self-employed retirement options, but contribution mechanics and flexibility can differ.

Does this include employee and employer split calculations?

No. This page is a growth projection, so contribution eligibility and tax details should still be checked separately.

Can I use this if contributions change every year?

Yes. Use the average monthly amount as a planning estimate, then rerun scenarios with higher or lower funding levels.
