Back when i first started working in 2016 i contributed a mix of pre and Roth contributions to my 401k but for the last 4 years I’ve only done Roth contributions. My 401k is through fidelity, is there an easy way to determine how much of my balance is in the pre tax and is there any way to just turn that into Roth now? Trying to save myself pain in the future

go to net benefits. Then look at balances. It should show balance by each source.

If you want to turn it all into Roth now, you would have to convert all the traditional balance into Roth. Your plan may or may not allow in plan conversions. The entire traditional balance would be taxable income if you converted it. You would need to determine whether that makes sense or not. If the balance is large, it probably doesn’t make sense. Any employer match would be traditional

Converting traditional to Roth is the only time I wait and time the market. Unless your tax bracket is about to jump big, now vs later is very similar - unless the value drops.

Also, FYI that your match is Traditional, even if you do Roth, so be aware the balance may be higher than expected.

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
