Everyone should know the basics about how their 401(k) works. Here are the most important pieces of information you should know about your 401(k) Plan. heartcg.com
How Much You Can Contribute? Workers can contribute up to $17,500 to a 401(k) in 2014, an amount that is adjusted annually for inflation. Employees age 50 and older can deposit an additional of $5,500. heartcg.com
How Much You Can Save in Taxes? Traditional 401(k) accounts allow you to defer paying income tax on the funds you contribute until you withdraw the money. To find out how much you will save, multiply your contribution amount by your tax rate. heartcg.com
How to Get a 401(k) Match? Getting a 401(k) plan is the quickest way to build up a large 401(k) balance. Many employers will match part or the entire amount you contribute to a 401(k) plan. Formulas can vary depending on the employer but the most common match is 50 cents for each dollar saved up to 6 percent of pay. heartcg.com
How to Avoid the Early Withdrawal Penalty? If you leave a job with a 401(k) before age 55 or roll the money over to an individual retirement account, you’ll have to wait until age 59 ½ to avoid penalty. heartcg.com
What To Do When You Change Jobs? When you switch jobs, you have three options that will allow you to avoid paying income tax and the early withdrawal penalty. Leave the money in your old 401(k) plan, roll it over to an IRA or shift the balance to your new employer’s 401(k) plan. heartcg.com
