Watch Your Retirement Savings GROW
To-Do List:
- Take action now – log in to UBenefits at apps.utah.edu/ubenefits to make or increase your election
- Meet with a financial consultant from Fidelity Investments or TIAA to discuss your retirement savings strategy (available at no cost to U employees)
The University of Utah has two supplemental retirement plans. All university employees are eligible to defer pay to the University’s 403(b) and 457(b) Plans through payroll deduction.
Deferrals can be made before taxes are calculated, which may allow you to save more. You can save a minimum of $12.50 per paycheck up to the IRS maximum of $18,000 in each savings plan. If you are age 50 or older, you can contribute an additional $6,000 per year for a total of $24,000 to each plan. The IRS limits increase to $18,500 ($24,500) in 2018.
