Contributions to a defined benefit plan are based on what is needed to provide definitely determinable benefits to plan participants. Actuarial assumptions and computations are required to figure these contributions.

The annual benefit for a participant under a defined benefit plan cannot exceed the lesser of:

1) 100% of the participant's average compensation for his or her highest 3 consecutive calendar years, or

2) $230,000 for 2020 ($225,000 for 2019)

Case: 1

Maximum contribution that the employer can make to the plan on Mr. Evon’s behalf assuming that his average compensation for his three highest compensation years is $145,000

2) $230,000 for 2020 (assumed year 2020)

Maximum contribution = $145000

Case: 2
