Deciding whether to contribute to a Roth 401(k) can be complex. Your choice depends on various factors, including your current tax situation, future income expectations, and retirement goals. This flowchart offers a general guide to help you navigate this decision, but it’s important to remember that everyone’s financial situation is unique. The Roth 401(k) option allows you to contribute after-tax dollars today, with the benefit of tax-free withdrawals in retirement. However, this might not be the best option for everyone. The flowchart will help you weigh the potential benefits against your current financial circumstances, but it’s not a substitute for personalized advice.
