Retirement Contribution Effects On Your Paycheck

An employer sponsored retirement savings account could be one of your best tools for creating a secure retirement. It provides two important advantages. First, all contributions and earnings are tax deferred. You only pay taxes on contributions and earnings when the money is withdrawn. Second, many employers provide matching contributions to your account, which can range from 0% to 100% of your contributions. Use this tool to see how increasing your contributions to a 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plans can affect your paycheck as well as your retirement savings.
