SIMPLE IRA Employer Contributions

Is there (what is) the limit on employer’s matching contributions to an employee’s SIMPLE IRA account? Can the contribution be 3% of (the employee’s) compensation to any value? Ex: 3% of a $300,000 salary ($9,000)?



Yes, but the matching contribution cannot exceed the salary reduction contributions. Therefore, if the salary reduction contributions were only 2%  (6,000), the matching contribution could not exceed 6,000. Or if the salary reduction contributions were 4% (12,000), the matching contribution would be limited to 9,000.
