Retirement Savings Program

In addition to your primary (required) retirement benefits, you may need to save additional money to have the standard of living you want in retirement. The voluntary UC Retirement Savings Program offers convenient, tax-advantaged options for building your savings.

UC’s retirement savings plans

  • 403(b) Plan — Pretax and new Roth contributions
  • 457(b) Plan — Pretax and new Roth contributions
  • Defined Contribution Plan — consists of the Pretax Account for mandatory contributions and the After-Tax Account for voluntary contributions and the taxable portion of rollovers from other employer plans.

Contribution limits

The IRS places limits on how much you can contribute to retirement savings plans each year.
