The Minnesota Deferred Compensation 457(b) Plan (MNDCP) is a voluntary retirement savings plan (similar to a 401(k) or 403(b) available to any full-time, part-time, or temporary Minnesota public employee (state, city, county, township, school district, etc.).
A 457(b) plan's annual contributions and other additions (excluding earnings) to a participant's account cannot exceed the lesser of: 100% of the participant's includible compensation, or. the elective deferral limit ($23,000 in 2024; $22,500 in 2023; $20,500 in 2022; $19,500 in 2020 and in 2021).
The regular yearly contributions amount for Deferred Compensation will increase from $23,000 to $23,500. The catch-up contribution limit that generally applies for employees aged 50 and over remains at $7,500 for 2025 for a combined maximum contribution limit of $31,000 in 2025.
Deferred compensation is often considered better than a 401(k) for highly-compensated executives looking to reduce their tax burden. Contribution limits on deferred compensation plans can also be much higher than 401(k) limits.
