Retirement Plan

Bryn Mawr College sponsors a 403(b) retirement plan. Employees are eligible for a College contribution of 10 percent of gross eligible wages if they work a minimum of 1,000 hours per year. The College contribution will begin on the first day of the month following the first eight months of employment. The contributions are retroactive to the first of the month coincident with or following the employee’s date of employment.  

Employees may also contribute to their retirement by electing a fixed dollar amount or percentage for each pay period. The annual amount is limited under the Internal Revenue Code as follows:

Payroll Year Contribution Limit Age 50+ Catch Up Maximum Compensation
2025* $23,500 $7,500 $350,000
2024 $23,000 $7,500 $345,000

*If you want to reach the limit in 2025, you should elect the following amount per pay...
