What's the difference between Roth and a 401K?

The difference between a Roth 401k and a regular 401k is that the Roth 401K is a after-tax contribution and the regular 401K is a pre-tax contribution. You pay taxes on the Roth 401K now in order to avoid taxes at withdrawal. The regular 401 is a tax credit for the year deposited with taxes paid at the time of withdrawal.


What are the federal income tax rates on a 401K early withdrawal?

The withdrawal will be taxed at the rate determined by your entire taxable income, including the withdrawal. If the early withdrawal has no exceptions, it will incur an additional penalty tax of 10%.


When claiming a withdrawl from your 401k what is the percent of income tax you have to pay?

If you withdraw money from your 401k plan, it will be taxed just like any other income. So, the amount that you will pay will depend on what tax bracket the withdrawal pushes you into. If you do not meet one of the exceptions, you will also be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. This penalty is charged by the IRS and it is reported on your tax return for the year of the withdrawal. So, if you are in a 25% tax bracket and you are subject to the early withdrawal penalty, you are going to pay a total of 35% of the withdrawal in Federal income tax. If you live in a State that has state income tax, remember that you will need to pay that too.
