What is the difference between a pre-tax and Roth 401(k) plan?
The main difference between a pre-tax and Roth 401(k) plan is how they are taxed. In a pre-tax 401(k) plan, contributions are made before taxes are taken out, reducing your taxable income in the present. In a Roth 401(k) plan, contributions are made after taxes are taken out, but withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.
What are the differences between contributing to a pre-tax or post-tax 401k plan and how do they impact my retirement savings?
Contributing to a pre-tax 401(k) plan means you don't pay taxes on the money you put in until you withdraw it in retirement. Contributing to a post-tax 401(k) plan means you pay taxes on the money before you put it in, but won't have to pay taxes on it when you withdraw it in retirement. The choice between the two can impact your retirement savings by affecting how much you have available to use in retirement and how much you pay in taxes.

Average match is about 3% of the employee earnings. There is a limit each year for the amount that the employee can contribute.

Roth 401(k) vs. Traditional 401(k) and your Paycheck?
Roth 401(k) vs. Traditional 401(k) and your Paycheck A 401(k) can be an effective retirement tool. As of January 2006, there is a new type of 401(k) contribution. Roth 401(k) contributions allow you to contribute to your 401(k) account on an after-tax basis and pay no taxes on qualifying distributions when the money is withdrawn. For some investors this could prove to be a better option than the Traditional 401(k) contributions, where deposits are made on a pre-tax basis, but are subject to taxes when the money is withdrawn. Use this calculator to help determine the option that could work for you and how it might affect your paycheck.
