Small businesses have more retirement plan options than ever.
Simple IRA
The SIMPLE IRA (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) is designed for small businesses and the self-employed.
Offering many of the features of a big-company retirement plan like a 401(k), but made simple, easy, and affordable, the SIMPLE IRA is generally best-suited for companies with up to 25 employees that want to allow employee contributions and can commit to a modest company contribution annually. (You may establish a SIMPLE IRA if your company has no retirement plan in place and has 100 or fewer employees.)
Key advantages of SIMPLE IRAs include:
- No charge to set up or administer your SIMPLE IRA plan with New York Life.
- Takes little time to administer and maintain—no annual testing or IRS filing requirements and very little bookkeeping.
- Web-based service center allows easy access and maintenance.
- Employee contributions are made on a pretax basis and are higher than traditional IRAs.
- Company contributions are generally tax deductible as a business expense.
- Easy to submit payroll deductions with our payroll submission system—it simplifies everything for you.
SEP IRAs

It is designed for business owners (whether incorporated or not) and anyone who earns self-employment income—even if they are covered by another retirement plan.
Key advantages of SEP IRAs include:
- Employer makes contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) established for plan sponsors and their employees.
