  9. REDUCE CURRENTINCOME TAXES Youcontribute You invest Biweekly pay reduced pay Annual income tax savings 3% 6% 9% 12% $29 $58 $87 $115 $22 $43 $65 $87 $188 $375 $563 $750 Example of pretax savings for someone making $25,000 a year Results rounded to the nearest dollar assuming a 25% marginal federal tax rate and biweekly pay periods.

  10. GROWTH POTENTIAL WITHOUT CURRENT TAXATION Totals shown reflect a $100 monthly investment with an 8% annual return, 4% annual wage inflation and a 25% federal tax rate. From the taxable investments, taxes are taken each month from deposits and annually upon gains. Taxes are taken on the tax-deferred investment’s end balance. This is a hypothetical compounding example and is not intended to predict or project investment results of any specific investment. Investment return is not guaranteed and will vary depending upon your investments and market experience. If fees were reflected, the return would be less.Assets withdrawn from a qualified plan may be subject to a 10% penalty tax if withdrawn prior to age 59 ½ distribution, and all may be subject to income tax. $200,000 Taxable Investment $158,981 Tax-deferred Investment $150,000 $115,555 $100,000 $57,581 $46,960 $50,000 $15,822 $14,356 $0 10 years 20 years 30 years

  11. OR CONSIDER ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS — Roth provides an option to pay taxes on contributions now These examples are hypothetical in nature and assume a 25% tax bracket at distribution. They also assume that the retirement plan’s value earns an average annual total return of 8%. Investment return is not guaranteed and will vary depending upon the investments and market experience. A single contribution of $10,000 will be worth the same amount in 20 years (discounting the impact of inflation) if the tax bracket remains the same. However, if the future tax rate is greater, the amount distributed from the Roth account will be greater than the post-tax amount distributed from the traditional 401(k) account.
