I do 6k backdoor Roth IRA using Vanguard. Recently came to know that my company supports after tax Roth 401k with limit as 57k... Does this 57k limit includes 6k of Roth IRA?

It’s actually not a Roth, but an after tax 401k. This can then be rolled into a Roth IRA without creating a tax event (unless you have earnings, which are taxable).

The $57k includes your contributions and your employer match to your traditional 401k, Roth 401k, and after tax 401k combined. For example if you make $100k and max your 401k at 19.5k with a 5% company match ($5k), you can contribute $32.5k to after tax 401k, which can be rolled into a Roth IRA. This is in addition to your $6k Roth IRA contribution.

@K1 after maxing the 19.5k, should one start investing in after tax ( $32.5k) or their regular brokerage first? Essentially, is after tax mega Backdoor a no brainer?
