DEFINITION of 'Cafeteria Plan'. An employee benefit plan that allows staff to choose from a variety of benefits to formulate a plan that best suits their needs. Cafeteria plan options may include health and accident insurance, cash benefits, tax advantages and/or retirement plan contributions.
Essentially, a cafeteria plan allows an employee to reduce their gross income, effectively reducing the amount they pay in Federal, Social Security, and some State taxes. This amounts to a savings of between 25% and 40% of every dollar they contribute to the plan. The employer also realizes savings on FICA withholding tax for each participating employee. Ask your employer about Cafeteria Plans because they save you and your company money on taxes.
