## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The key difference between 401(k) plans for for-profit entities and 403(b) plans for non-profits and schools. - The 2026 employee elective deferral limit of $24,500 and the additional $8,000 catch-up for those age 50 and over. - How profit-sharing plans are funded by discretionary employer contributions, deductible up to 25% of total participant compensation. - The calculation of the maximum overall contribution to a defined contribution plan, which is $72,000 for 2026, plus catch-up amounts. - How to avoid the common exam trap of confusing the employee deferral limit with the total combined employee and employer contribution limit.
