Here is how the SRS is computed for a retiree whose MRA is age 56 and who retires under FERS with 30 years of civilian service and an estimated age 62 Social Security benefit of $1200 a month. 1  The FERS service is divided by 40. 2  The age 62 Social Security benefit is multiplied by the fraction derived above.
The IRS allows you to combine money in a SEP IRA with money in a 401(k) plan, either by moving the SEP IRA money to the 401(k) or the 401(k) money to the SEP IRA.
1. There are restrictions on how much you can contribute to different accounts. The 2015 contribution limit for a 401(k) is $18,000; $24,000 if youâre 50 and over. Then you can also deposit up to $5,500 in a Roth or traditional IRA for 2015 ($6,500 if youâre 50 and up).Thatâs the combined limit for both types of IRAs, by the way.You canât put, say, $5,500 each into an IRA and a Roth IRA. If youâre maxing out your 401(k) and have more to save, opening a Roth IRA can help you sock away another $5,500 or $6,500 a year (for restrictions, see below).or example: You can fund a 401(k) (or other employer-sponsored plan, including a SEP-IRA) and a Roth IRA. This enables you to save more, and gives you the tax flexibility mentioned above. You can also throw a traditional IRA into that mix.
