Welcome to Delaware EARNS. The easy way to save for retirement.

Secure your financial future

Delaware EARNS, is a new retirement savings program, sponsored by the Office of the State Treasurer. Here in Delaware, nearly 150,000 workers have no way to save for retirement through their workplace. This program was created to help bridge our state’s retirement savings gap.

With EARNS, businesses can help their employees save for retirement in a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA) through convenient payroll deductions. This new program is an easy way for Delawareans to save for the future.
