SAU29's 403(b) Plan

403b Intro

403(b) plans are a way for employees of schools and other non-profit organizations to contribute money, pre tax, for retirement savings. This type of plan, known as a Defined Contribution plan, allows employees to contribute into the funds that best fit their investment goals.

For 2025, the 403(b) employee contribution limit is $23,500, with an additional $7,500 "age 50+" catch-up contribution, totaling $31,000 for those age 50 or over. A new "super catch-up" allows those ages 60 to 63 to contribute an additional $11,250 beyond the standard limit, for a total of up to $34,750. A separate 15-year service catch-up allows for an additional $3,000 in contributions for eligible long-term employees, with a lifetime cap.

School Administrative Unit 29 is pleased to partner with Fidelity Investments as our exclusive provider of investment options and record keeping services for the SAU29 403b plan. Fidelity is one of the nation's largest mutual fund companies, managing the accounts of more than 18 million investors.
