401(k) Plans
| What it is: | A retirement plan that accepts employee contributions. Traditional, tax-deferred 401(k) contributions are made before income taxes are applied, and earnings and contributions are not taxable until withdrawn. Roth 401(k) contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but withdrawals, including earnings, are tax-free if certain conditions are met. Many companies encourage participation in the plan by matching employee contributions. |
