Know Your Formula

United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) plan sponsors may offer one, or a combination, of the following types of plan sponsor/employer contributions to participants.

Matching

Your plan sponsor contributes a percentage of your contributions up to a percentage of your compensation.

• Example 1: Your plan sponsor contributes 100% of your contributions up to 2% of compensation, which is a dollar-for-dollar match.
  • If you contribute 2% to UMPIP, your plan sponsor contributes 2%.
  • If you contribute 1%, your plan sponsor contributes 1%, which means you miss out on an additional 1%.
• Example 2: Your plan sponsor contributes 50% of your contributions up to 2% of compensation.
  • If you contribute 2% to UMPIP, your plan sponsor contributes 1%
  • If you contribute 4%, your plan sponsor contributes 2% (the maximum you can earn)

Conditional

Your plan sponsor contributes a percentage of your compensation if you contribute a minimum amount.

• Example: Your plan sponsor contributes 6% of your compensation if you contribute at least 3% of your compensation.
  • If you contribute 3%, your plan sponsor contributes 6%.
  • If you contribute any amount less than 3%, your plan sponsor contributes 0%.

Discretionary

Your plan sponsor may choose to make a contribution to your retirement account at the end of the plan year, but the contribution is not guaranteed.

Non-matching
Even if you contribute nothing to your retirement account, your plan sponsor contributes a certain percentage of your compensation.
