5. 5 Different types of contributions Different tax advantages Before-tax Contributions Are made before taxes are taken out of your pay Can give you a tax break by helping you lower your current taxable income Allow more of your income to stay in your paycheck (compared to Roth contributions) Accumulate tax-deferred—once you begin making withdrawals, you will pay taxes on your contributions and any associated earnings Roth Contributions Are made after taxes are taken out of your pay Don’t give you a tax break today— contributions are made with money you’ve already paid taxes on Will cause you to see less take-home pay (compared to before-tax contributions) Accumulate tax-free—the balance of your contributions and any associated earnings are tax-free when you take a qualified distribution* * A qualified distribution is tax-free if taken at least 5 years after the year of your first Roth contribution AND you’ve reached age 59½, become totally disabled, or died. If your distribution is not qualified, any withdrawal from your account will be partially taxed. These rules apply to Roth distributions only from employer-sponsored retirement plans. Additional plan distribution rules apply.

8. 8 So what is a qualified distribution? A qualified Roth distribution is tax-free if it is taken at least five years after the year of your first Roth contribution and you’ve reached age 59½, become disabled, or died. If your distribution is not qualified, any withdrawal from your Roth account will be partially taxable. Additional distribution rules may apply.

12. 12 How using before-tax or Roth contributions could affect your annual pay and income in retirement These charts assume a participant is age 45, earns $50,000 a year, gets a 3% raise each year, contributes 10% of pay annually to his or her retirement plan, has an annual rate of return of 7% before retirement, has a 28.75% tax rate, retires at age 65, and withdraws 4% of the account balance in the first year of retirement. The annual income estimate is in today’s dollars and assumes a 3% rate of inflation. Chart and estimates only account for future contributions and not current balances in an effort to illustrate characteristics of each contribution type. Any current tax benefit from contributing to a before ‐ tax account is assumed to be spent and not factored into retirement income. The tax rate reflects estimated federal and state taxes. For illustrative purposes only. This is not meant to represent the performance of any investment options for your plan. Your results will vary.
