As self-employed without employees or an independent contractor, you have access to retirement vehicles that offer significantly higher contribution limits than traditional accounts. A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA allows you to shelter up to 25% of your net earnings from self-employment, drastically reducing your taxable income while building substantial long-term wealth.
Easy to set up and maintain
Flexible annual contributions
Tax-deductible employer contributions

Small business owners with employees can supercharge their retirement strategy. A Solo 401(k) lets you contribute as both the employer and employee, maximizing your tax-advantaged savings potential. Alternatively, a SIMPLE IRA provides a straightforward path for businesses with employees to offer retirement benefits without heavy administrative burdens.

Catch-up contributions for ages 50+
