Roth 401k
It is not possible that you don't know about Roth 401K as it is very popular retirement option. It was in the year 2006, that the Pension Protection Act of 2006 made Roth 401K more powerful by making it a permanent retirement option. With the Pension Protect Act making the Roth 401K more powerful by making it permanent, still there are some measures left on the part of employers to make it more certain like at present it is not known exactly if the employers will change existing 401k plans or not. Benefits experts believe that the success of Roth 401K would depend mainly on the employees as if they would demand adoption of this plan, then only employers would incorporate it. There are several attractive features of Roth 401K that is making it popular like the contributions to Roth 401k is made only after taxes. The best part is that as soon as you are of age 59 1/2 you can start to withdraw your savings and that too without paying any taxes or penalties. However for this the condition applies that you have held your account for a minimum of five years. In some cases Roth 401k are quite similar to Regular 401K as for example in case of contributions made the limits of both Roth 401K and Regular 401K are same like for the year 2007 it was ,500 a year for both of them and ,500 a year if the person is older than 50years. In order to calculate the contribution limit both the contributions of Regular 401k and Roth 401K are combined. As per Roth IRAs limit for the year 2007, one is only required to contribute ,000 if he/she is of age under 50 years a year and if the person is older than 50years the contribution is ,000 a year only. In case one withdraws money before the age of 591/2 or from the accounts that are not even 5 years old, he/she is not required to pay any tax on the original after-tax contributions, but he/she is required to pay the income tax and that too with a 10% penalty on net earnings. The option of Roth 401k is considered best for those employees who are earning higher compensation and who are worried of the higher taxes during their retirement. They have the option to pay taxes now at much lower rates so as to avail the option to withdraw their money at the time of retirement without paying any taxes. The option of Roth 401K is also good for those employees who are not making any contribution to Roth IRA because of their income. In case the employee requires the funds early within 5 years, in that case Roth IRA won't serve his/her purpose.
