You pay before taxes on traditional contributions so the net income hit is less.
Say your effective tax rate is 30%, then you are eating in gross pay only 18,900 off income to fund 27000 in 401K savings.
The whole point of tax deferred accounts really.
Roth contributions don’t work this way, but most do not max out funds using Roth given the tax difference in retirement vs working.
I want your job if you can put almost 19k a year in your 401k. I couldn't even get close to that number.
While I totally agree with this, you need to be making quite a bit in order to have an effective tax rate of 30%. I make six figures and don't even pay that much.
