I’m doing 10% roth and 3% traditional 401k out of my paycheck now. In addition, I also have a roth ira. Should I adjust the % I’m contributing? Maybe do more traditional, etc.? Appreciate all inputs!

It all depends on how much you make now, and if you expect to have higher or lower taxes in retirement than you are paying now.

You should balance the two.

It’s the balance between saving on taxes in your retirement since most likely you will be in a higher brackets and investing more money now and therefore grounding through compounding more.

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.
