Reasonable rate of return

In the context of nonqualified deferred compensation, this concept is important because it can affect whether you will owe additional FICA taxes when you receive your distributions. For account-balance plans, this return cannot exceed a reasonable rate of interest or your actual investment earnings. For details, see a related FAQ elsewhere on this website.
