In a SEP-IRA, the employer is the sole contributor. The employer may contribute, on the employee's behalf, the lesser of 25% of the employee's compensation or $49,000 (for 2010), whichever is less, (compensation is limited to $245,000 for 2010).
Aside from the higher contribution
limit, SEP-IRAs are generally subject to the same rules governing
Traditional IRAs and are inexpensive for employers to offer
there is virtually no administration and the cost is minimal.
