Your retirement is about more than reaching the end of your career. It's about preparing for the life you want to enjoy afterward.
A 403(b) retirement plan allows eligible educators and school employees to save for retirement through payroll deductions, helping build additional savings alongside their pension and other retirement resources.
Both options can help you prepare for retirement. The primary difference is when you pay income taxes.
Save for retirement using pre-tax contributions, generally reducing your taxable income today.
Save for retirement using after-tax contributions, with the potential for tax-free qualified withdrawals.
Small, consistent contributions may help you build meaningful retirement savings over time. See how a hypothetical $100 monthly contribution could grow.
$24,000 in contributions + approximately $22,204 in hypothetical growth.
Understanding common retirement planning oversights can help educators make more informed decisions about their financial future.
Delaying retirement contributions can mean missing valuable years of potential growth. Even modest contributions may make a meaningful difference over time.
Traditional and Roth 403(b) contributions have different tax treatments. Understanding those differences can help you evaluate which approach may align with your goals.
Fees, surrender charges, withdrawal limitations, and contract provisions can affect your retirement savings. Review the details before making a decision.
A pension may provide an important source of retirement income, but individual expenses and financial needs can vary. Additional savings may help support retirement goals.
Changes in income, household expenses, and retirement timelines may affect your savings goals. Periodically reviewing your contribution amount can be helpful.
Life events such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child may affect beneficiary preferences. Review your designations and keep them current.
Retirement preparation is an ongoing process. Learning how your 403(b) works, reviewing your options, and asking informed questions can help you approach your future with greater confidence.
