Limits for Defined Contribution Plans to Remain Unchanged for 2021

A defined contribution plan allows you to save for retirement while reducing taxation on your current income. The MCPS 403(b) plan allows employees to save on a tax-deferred basis through salary deduction. A 457(b) plan allows employees to defer compensation to the future, lowering current taxable income and offering potential tax-deferred growth.
