What percentage do you contribute to your 401k vs. Roth 401k? And what's your salary?

I figure there should be some point where you earn too much and it's not worth contributing to your Roth 401k

Over the long term, Roth is clearly tax advantaged. I’m all roth 401k for $19500. Percentage is not relevant.

Everyone should try to max their roth 401k IMO

like

I just started working (I’m 22) and I only have a few months to get to $19,500, so I’ve been doing the max I can contribute each paycheck which is 65%. Company does 50% match up to IRS max.

like

My salary is $90,000. TC is $119. Sorry forgot to mention in response to OP’s post.

125 base, I max my 401k. I split between the trad 401k and Roth 401k 50/50

I appreciate you 🙌 Thx for sharing the knowledge!

What is the combined contribution limit for regular 401K and Roth 401K ?

like

19,500. An extra 6,500 for over 50

Only 401k ... percent is around 13%. I hit my limit this month. So till end of the year no more money going to 401K

Do you think the tax benefits are not worth it?

12% of 139k to Roth

My bad thought Roth IRA

I put 9% and company puts 3%. Salary is 140k base.

My understanding is that the max for Roth is 6/7k per year depending on income and if you are over 50…

Ahh

Max out the Roth…

Salary 142.5. Take advantage of all Roth 401K - 12%.

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Not sure if this has been asked before but what are your billable expectations, what year are you, and what size firm are you at?

I don’t hit them but neither does anyone else including senior associates / partners. Anyways, my boss is using that as an excuse to not give me a raise - so any insight you could provide would be helpful!
