FAQs
-
The type of 401(k) plan that's best for you depends on your tax rate, age, risk tolerance, and how much you'll need to retire. Traditional 401(k)s allow you to make pre-tax contributions, but you'll pay income tax on the distributions in retirement. Roth 401(k)s are funded with after-tax money, so you won't have to pay taxes on any contributions and earnings that come out of the account at retirement. If you think your tax rate will be lower when you begin taking withdrawals in retirement, traditional contributions may make sense. If your tax rate will be about the same (or higher), Roth contributions might be preferable.
