What is the CalSavers Program?
The CalSavers Program is a state-sponsored retirement savings plan designed for employees who don’t have a retirement plan through their employer. It requires employers in California with five or more employees to provide a retirement savings option. For many small to medium-sized businesses, setting up and managing a retirement plan can be daunting. This is where CalSavers comes in, offering a simple and cost-effective solution.utomatic and easy to use, CalSavers helps ensure that more people can build a nest egg for their future.
Key Features of the CalSavers Program
Automatic Enrollment
Employees are automatically enrolled in the program, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to save for retirement without the need for extensive paperwork or complex setup. Automatic enrollment means you don’t have to do anything to start saving – it just happens.
Roth IRA Accounts
The program uses Roth IRAs, which are special types of retirement accounts. Contributions to Roth IRAs grow tax-free, and withdrawals are also tax-free in retirement, provided certain conditions are met. This means your money can grow faster without being taxed every year.
Portability
One of the best features of CalSavers is that employees can take their CalSavers account with them if they change jobs. This ensures continuous retirement savings without any hassle of transferring accounts.
No Employer Fees
There are no costs for employers to facilitate the CalSavers Program. This makes it an attractive option for businesses looking to provide retirement benefits without financial strain. Employers simply need to register and set up the program, and there are no hidden fees.
Flexible Contributions
Employees can choose how much to contribute to their accounts. They have the option to adjust their savings rate or opt-out entirely if they wish. This flexibility allows employees to save at a rate that works for their budget.

Eligibility and Enrollment
To participate in the CalSavers Program, employees must meet a few basic requirements:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number

Employers with five or more employees must register for the program and facilitate employee enrollment.
