My employer offers the option of choosing either pre-tax (traditional) deferrals or Roth deferrals in our 401k. I’m guessing a lot of you are similar. I’ve done some research on which kind is ‘best’ and the answer always seems to be “it depends.” A lot of it is based on your current tax rate vs retirement tax rate, but I don’t know how to accurately judge that without a crystal ball
Currently I’m putting the amount to getting the employer match in pre-tax, and any additional deferrals/increases in Roth. I max out my personal Roth IRA outside of work.
What option do you guys use? A mix of both? Not necessarily looking for a hard “do this” answer, but curious to see how others approach it.
