Compensation must be limited by

IRC section 401(a)(17)



The limit is $200,000, as indexed ($255,000 for 2013).

Salaries being averaged are limited to

the salary limit for the year in which paid (before averaging).



*However, for years after 2001, Revenue Notice 2001-56 allows prior salaries to be limited to $200,000 rather than the actual limit in effect for the year in which the salary was paid, if the plan so provides.

The compensation limit is pro-rated for a short plan year.

True

The compensation limit is not pro-rated if an employee is a participant in a plan for

less than a full year.

For non-calendar years, the compensation limit is the limit in effect

on the first day of the year.



This also applies to calendar year plans that use a definition of compensation over a different 12-month period from the plan year.

There is a separate compensation limitation from each employer

in the case of a multiple employer plan.
