  • Qualified Plans:
  • 403(b) Plans: are available only to employees of certain tax-exempt organizations, like nonprofits, churches, and public schools. Just like a typical 401(k) plan, 403(b) plans can allow you to make elective deferrals on either a pretax or Roth basis, and your employer will usually contribute to your savings on your behalf.
  • 457 Plans: It is an employer-sponsored “deferred compensation” plan for employees of some state and local governments. It is also designed for workers from any non-church, tax-exempt organization. 
  • 401K Plans: There are two major types of 401(k)s: traditional and Roth. With a traditional 401(k), employee contributions are pretax, meaning they reduce taxable income, but withdrawals in retirement are taxed. Employee contributions to Roth 401(k)s, on the other hand, are made with after-tax income. There's no tax deduction in the contribution year, but withdrawals—qualified distributions—are tax-free.
  • Traditional IRA: It is an individual retirement account (IRA) designed to help people save for retirement, with taxes deferred on any potential investment growth. Contributions are generally made with after-tax money, but may be tax-deductible if you meet income eligibility.
  • Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a defined contribution plan for United States civil service employees and retirees as well as for members of the uniformed services.
  • Roth IRA is a type of tax-advantaged individual retirement account to which you can contribute after-tax dollars toward your retirement. The primary benefit of a Roth IRA is that your contributions and the earnings on those contributions can grow tax-free and be withdrawn tax-free after age 59½, assuming the account has been open for at least five years.
