What is a 401(k)?
A 401(k) is a type of retirement account. It’s sponsored by an employer, so only those employed by a company can contribute.
The person enrolled in the 401(k) decides how much of their paycheck will go directly into your account through automatic payroll deductions, using pre or post-tax dollars.
A 401(k) has a larger annual contribution limit, up to $18,000 for individuals under the age of 50 and $24,000 for individuals over the age of 50.
People enrolled in a 401(k) are able to contribute to both the 401(k) and an IRA, but must stay under the annual contribution limits for each type of account.
