6 Individual 401( k ) plan Guidebook Roth plan contributions one more way to contribute to your plan. Roth plan contributions (sometimes referred to as designated Roth contributions) offer a different tax advantage for your retirement savings than traditional, before-tax, salary reduction contributions. Now you can choose the tax advantage you prefer by making Roth plan contributions, before-tax contributions, or both (as long as your combined savings do not exceed plan or IRS limits) as part of your salary deferral contributions to your Individual 401(k) account. Roth plan contributions and before-tax contributions are both great ways to save. What are some benefits of Roth plan contributions? Unlike before-tax salary reduction contributions, Roth plan contributions are made with after-tax dollars, or money on which tax has already been withheld. This means that the amount you contribute is included in your current taxable income. Like before-tax salary reduction contributions, Roth plan contributions are automatically deducted from your pay (or income if your business entity is unincorporated). However, if you make Roth plan contributions, the amount of your take-home pay will be less than if you make before-tax salary reduction contributions in the same dollar amount. The good news is that the balance of your Roth plan contributions and any earnings are not taxed when taken in a qualified distribution* generally in retirement. In fact, Roth plan contributions can help you avoid taxes on earnings. The bottom line: You can potentially maximize your spendable income in retirement, even if it means giving up before-tax advantages now. How do the two contribution types compare? There are advantages to both types of contributions; but, as the chart below shows, there are important differences as well. Before-tax contributions When you contribute Your contributions are deducted from your pay before taxes are withheld You lower your current taxable income You may have more take-home pay than Roth contributions Any earnings grow tax-deferred When you withdraw Your contributions and any earnings are taxed upon distribution roth PLAN contributions When you contribute Your contributions are deducted from your pay after taxes are withheld You do not lower your current taxable income You may have less take-home pay than beforetax contributions Any earnings grow tax-free* When you withdraw Your contributions and earnings are tax-free if you take a qualified distribution* * Roth qualified distributions. A qualified distribution is tax-free if taken at least five years after the year of your first Roth plan contribution and you ve reached age , 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. 4 T. Rowe Price

The length of time you plan to invest your savings should determine how much money you allocate to each type of investment.

To find an investment mix for your time horizon, consider the following age-based asset allocations. Stocks Bonds Money Market/Stable Value 0%-10% 0%-10% 0%-20% 0%-5% 5%-15% 90%-100% 15%-25% 90%-100% 80%-100% 65%-85% 25%-35% 50%-65% 15%-30% 20%-50% 35%-50% Your age: 20s 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s and over diversify your stock allocation among different types of stocks. A typical mixture could include 60% large-cap (established companies), 20% mid-cap/small-cap (small to medium-sized companies), and 20% international (companies outside the U.S.) stocks. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Stock 60% Large-Cap Stock 20% Mid-/Small-Cap Stock 20% International Stock Remember that these are just suggested portfolios and that you should consider a wide variety of factors (current income, other investments, retirement goals) before making any investing decisions.
