How Does the NSU Match Work

                             

Once you are eligible, NSU will match your contributions up to the first 4%! You can contribute more than 4% to your retirement savings account at NSU, but those contributions will not be matched. 

YOUR CONTRIBUTION NSU BASIC MATCH* NSU SAFE HARBOR MATCH NSU ADDITIONAL MATCH* TOTAL NSU MATCH TOTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS
0 2% 0 0 2% 2%
1% 2% 1% 1% 4% 5%
2% 2% 2% 2% 6% 8%
3% 2% 3% 3% 8% 11%
4% 2% 4% 4% 10% 14%

The NSU Basic Match and NSU Additional Match are vested after 3 years of employment. Your contributions and the NSU Safe Harbor Match are vested immediately (subject to eligibility and participation).

How Much Can I Contribute Each Year?

Contributions to the NSU Retirement Savings Plan are not limited to the percentage of your salary that NSU matches.

Annual limits are generally set by the IRS each year in October for the next calendar year and are listed below for the calendar year 2021, and year 2022, effective January 1st 2022 to December 31st 2022.
