Its a savings plan that companys offer here. Some companys match it, some put in more money than you do each month..Ummm I don't know how else to explain it. We don't have one at my co.
Maybe Jodie or FG or Butterfly can explain it better!!

You have the right idea. A 401k is a long-term savings plan.

The employee selects a percentage of his salary to be withheld each paycheck and put into a special, tax-deffered account. You can have any amount you want withheld and the company will match the amount up to a pre-set percentage.

For example: Say you get $500 a week and you want to withhold 10% of it for your 401k. That's $50 per week that goes to the 401k. Now your company will match, dollar for dollar, up to 8% of your weekly check which adds an additional $40 to your 401k per week. You've just saved $90!!!

Money you and your company put in a 401k is tax-deffered. That means that you don't have to pay income tax on it until you withdraw the money when you are old. This is a good thing because most people will be in a lower tax bracket when they are old enough to withdraw the money. So you pay less taxes on it. If you withdraw the money early, you pay taxes on it for that tax year and pay a penalty. Not good to withdraw it early

Because Matt changed jobs, he has the opportunity to cash out some or all of it with lower penalties. He's going to roll the rest of the money over to a 401k account with his new employer. There are generally no costs or penalties for doing this.

Hope this helps

 

[Stacey]

Awesome Butterfly!!!Thanks!!

Yes the penalty is not that bad for him!!

 

[Stacey]
