How to find the perfect job with a great 401K plan

Are you LOOKING for a new role? You know the pay, but what about the 401K?

Although it is the gold standard plan for U.S. employees, about a third of working-age adults do not have the option to use this option at their workplace.

While some companies simply don’t offer them, freelancers and part-time workers are often excluded as well.

A 401K is invaluable for planning a comfortable retirement, so positions with a good package are in high demand.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 401K so you can choose the employer that offers what you want.

Is a pension the same as a 401K? Both function as retirement plans, but there is a big difference.

A pension is financed and administered by the employer.

However, a 401K can be funded by both employer and employee but managed by the employee.

Why should I pay into one? For tax relief and to secure your future. A 401K plan gives you a tax break on the money you contribute.

Many employers offer to match a portion of your savings, which is essentially free money!

How do 401Ks work? Contributions are automatically deducted from your paycheck and invested in a fund of your choice.

You will be presented with a list of available options. You can choose your investments from your plan selection or let the plan choose for you.

Take a look at nerdwallet.com/investing/401k-calculator to find out what’s best for you.

How much can I deposit? The accounts have an annual contribution limit of $22,500 in 2023, rising to $30,000 for those age 50 and older.

What are the disadvantages? Not all companies offer them. If your company doesn’t consider this, consider other options, such as an individual retirement account.

If you are self-employed, look into the Solo 401(k), which you can take out with a suitable broker.

You won’t get free employer-matched money, but you can contribute up to $66,000 in 2023.
