Although the amount you may contribute to your 401k varies by year, in 2012 one could contribute up to $17,000 to their 401k. Remember that one's employer may not match your contribution up to this amount.

What are the differences between a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k in terms of after-tax contributions and withdrawals?

The main difference between a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k is how they are taxed. In a traditional 401k, contributions are made with pre-tax money, meaning you don't pay taxes on the money you put in, but you pay taxes on withdrawals in retirement. In a Roth 401k, contributions are made with after-tax money, so you pay taxes on the money you put in, but withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.

When saving for retirement, what is better, a 401k or a ROTH ira?

It is better to do a 401K if your company will match any money that you put in. Put in only what they will match and put the rest in a Roth ira for the best outcome.

Contributing to an after-tax 401k means you pay taxes on the money now, but won't pay taxes on it when you withdraw it in retirement. The choice impacts your retirement savings by affecting when you pay taxes on the money and how much you ultimately have available for retirement.
