It\u2019s a lot to process. But choosing the best retirement plans to hold your investments is a big deal. It could mean the difference between enjoying tax-free withdrawals in retirement or having to pay Uncle Sam every time you open up your nest egg. There\u2019s\u00a0<em>a lot<\/em>\u00a0at stake here.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Here are the four main types of retirement accounts you need to know about:\n    <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Employer-Sponsored Retirement Accounts<\/li>\n<li>Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)<\/li>\n<li>Taxable Investment Accounts<\/li>\n<li>Small Business and Self-Employed Retirement Accounts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How can you tell which retirement accounts are the right ones for you? Let\u2019s find out!\n    <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like most working Americans, you probably have some sort of retirement plan available through the workplace. And many employers even pitch in to help you save for your retirement!\n    <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into some of the most common employer-sponsored retirement accounts out there, so you can figure out which plan works best for you.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>401(k)<\/h3>\n<p>A\u00a0401(k)\u00a0is a retirement account companies offer employees to help them save for retirement, and it\u2019s the most common type of retirement plan in the workplace. Your 401(k) could contain any type of investment, but usually you\u2019ll get to choose from a small selection of mutual funds your company\u2019s plan offers.\n    <\/p>\n<p>There are\u00a0two main types of 401(k)s\u2014traditional or Roth\u2014and the big difference between them is how they\u2019re taxed:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Traditional 401(k):<\/strong>\u00a0These retirement plans are funded with pretax dollars and the money inside grows on a\u00a0<em>tax-deferred\u00a0<\/em>basis. That just means you won\u2019t pay taxes on the money now, but you\u2019ll be taxed on the withdrawals you take out in retirement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Roth 401(k):<\/strong>\u00a0The money you put into a Roth 401(k) grows tax-free, and you won\u2019t pay any taxes when you take the money out in retirement. But only\u00a0<em>your\u00a0<\/em>contributions grow tax-free. If your company offers to match the money you put in (more on that in a minute), the money your company puts in grows\u00a0<em>tax-deferred<\/em>, so you\u2019ll have to pay taxes on the match side of the account.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For 2026, you\u2019re allowed to put up to $24,500 yearly into a 401(k). But if you\u2019re age 50 or older and need to catch up, you can put up to $32,500 in your account. Employees age 60\u201363 can contribute even more, with a higher catch-up limit of $11,250, for a combined total of $35,750.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>You get to choose how much money you want to contribute to the plan, either a percentage of your salary or a set dollar amount, and that money will be taken out of your paycheck automatically.\n    <\/p>\n<p>And many employers will offer a\u00a0<em>company match\u2014<\/em>that\u2019s when your company offers to match a percentage of your retirement\u00a0contributions in your 401(k). Translation?\u00a0<em>Free money!<\/em>\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>One last thing you need to know about 401(k)s is that you can\u2019t withdraw money from the account until you reach age 59 1\/2.<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0If you\u00a0<em>do\u00a0<\/em>decide to crack open your nest egg before then, the IRS will hit you with taxes and an early withdrawal penalty. So until then, leave that money alone!\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>403(b)<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a job at a nonprofit or tax-exempt organization\u2014we&#8217;re\u00a0talking to teachers, government employees, and some nurses and doctors here\u2014you might have a\u00a0403(b) plan\u00a0instead of a 401(k).\n    <\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0403(b) and a 401(k)\u00a0basically work the same way. They both have the same contribution limits, early withdrawal penalties, similar tax treatment, and 403(b)s can be either traditional or Roth accounts. So nearly everything we\u00a0said about 401(k)s applies to the 403(b) too.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s one thing with a 403(b) to be cautious about: the investment options. Sometimes these plans can be loaded with insurance products like annuities that have low returns and expensive fees and surrender charges. Steer clear of those and stick with\u00a0good growth stock mutual funds!\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0Thrift Savings Plan\u00a0gives federal workers and members of the military the opportunity to invest in a tax-advantaged account for retirement.\u00a0Just like a 401(k) or 403(b), TSP contributions (which can also be Roth or traditional, by the way) can be taken straight out of your paycheck.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Now, the TSP offers five different individual fund options for you to choose from, each one invested in either stock or bond index funds.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Government Securities Investment (G) Fund<\/li>\n<li>The Fixed Income Index Investment (F) Fund<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0Common Stock\u00a0Index Investment (C) Fund<\/li>\n<li>The Small Capitalization Stock Index (S) Fund<\/li>\n<li>International Stock Index Investment (I) Fund<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We recommend sticking with a mix of\u00a0C, S and I Funds, with 80% invested in the C Fund, and 10% each going into the S and I Funds.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Pension Plans<\/h3>\n<p>Also known as\u00a0<em>defined benefit plans<\/em>,\u00a0pension plans\u00a0use a formula based on your salary history and length of employment to calculate a guaranteed payout in retirement. With these types of plans, the risk is on the employer to save and invest the contributions. All you have to do is do your job and stay loyal to the company, and in exchange you get a gold watch and a pension check every month when you retire.\n    <\/p>\n<p>But that was back in the good ol\u2019 days. Today, the pension is an endangered species\u2014replaced by\u00a0<em>defined contribution plans<\/em>\u00a0like the 401(k)\u00a0and 403(b) in most workplaces. Baby boomers, union members and public sector workers (government, police, teachers, etc.) make up the majority of pension-holders today.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>The problem is that pensions aren\u2019t always a safe bet. Some companies and governments scale back pension benefits because they\u2019re in financial trouble or mismanaged their investments.\u00a0<em>That\u2019s not right!<\/em>\u00a0And if you wanted to leave your company for a new job, you\u2019ll still see some pension money in retirement but not as much as you originally expected.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>So if you have a pension plan, just be careful\u2014they\u2019re not always a slam dunk. You might want to sit down with an\u00a0investment professional\u00a0regularly to figure out if your pension is going to be enough for your retirement future.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Just to recap, here are the pros and cons of going with an employer-sponsored retirement plan like a 401(k):\n    <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Employer-Sponsored Retirement Accounts<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Most employers offer a company match.<\/li>\n<li>Employee contributions are either tax-deductible (traditional) or grow tax-free (Roth).<\/li>\n<li>Easy to set up contributions through payroll deductions.<\/li>\n<li>Investment growth isn\u2019t taxed until it\u2019s withdrawn from the account (traditional), or it\u2019s not taxed at all (Roth). \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Have higher contribution limits than IRAs.<\/li>\n<li>No income limits\u2014anyone with access can participate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited selection of investments to choose from.<\/li>\n<li>Some companies make you wait several years before you can keep employer contributions (called\u00a0<em>vesting<\/em>).<\/li>\n<li>High management and record-keeping fees.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Penalties for withdrawals made before age 59 1\/2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><h2>2. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Individual Retirement Accounts\u00a0(IRAs) are retirement savings accounts that allow you to save for retirement\u00a0outside of your workplace retirement plan\u00a0with some nice tax advantages.\n    <\/p>\n<p>While most workplace plans only let you choose from a handful of investment options, you can choose to have almost\u00a0<em>any<\/em>\u00a0kind of investment inside of your IRA, including mutual funds,\u00a0annuities\u00a0or even real estate.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of IRAs for you to choose from: traditional IRAs and\u00a0Roth IRAs. Here are some rules that apply to both types of accounts:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2026, you can put up to $7,500 in your IRAs ($8,600 if you\u2019re age 50 or older).<sup>3<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll pay an early withdrawal penalty on any of the growth you take out of an IRA before age 59 1\/2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>You can put money in at any age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But there are some major differences between traditional and Roth IRAs! Let\u2019s take a closer look at both to see which one is the better choice for you.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Traditional IRAs<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional IRAs are invested with pretax contributions, which means you can claim them as tax deductions\u00a0<em>now<\/em>, but you\u2019ll have to pay taxes on the money you withdraw in retirement\u00a0<em>later<\/em>. And you can\u2019t keep the money parked in your traditional IRA forever\u2014you have to start making withdrawals at age 73 (Uncle Sam wants his fair share).<sup>4<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<p>One of the nice things about traditional IRAs is there are no income limits on contributions, which means you can put money into your IRA no matter how much money you make!\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Roth IRAs<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to come right out and say that we\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em>Roth IRAs! Since they\u2019re invested with after-tax dollars, that means the money you invest grows\u00a0<em>tax-free,\u00a0<\/em>and you won\u2019t owe any taxes when you withdraw that money in retirement.\u00a0And there are no\u00a0required minimum withdrawals (RMDs), since you\u2019ve already paid taxes on the money you put into a Roth IRA.\n    <\/p>\n<p>However, there are limits to how much you can contribute to your Roth IRA, based on your income.\u00a0For 2026, those income limits are $252,000 for married couples filing jointly or $168,000 for single people.<sup>5<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<p>There\u00a0<em>is\u00a0<\/em>a way around that rule, and it\u2019s called a\u00a0backdoor Roth IRA. And don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s perfectly legal! Here\u2019s how it works: First, you open up a traditional IRA or put money into one you already have. Then, as soon as that money is in your traditional IRA account, ask your investment pro to\u00a0convert\u00a0that IRA into a Roth IRA. When you do that, you\u2019ll have to pay the taxes on that money, so make sure you have the cash on hand to pay what you owe!\n    <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the good, the bad, and the (not so) ugly on IRAs:\n    <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Individual Retirement Accounts<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>More investment options.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to set up and easily accessible.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re exclusively yours.<\/li>\n<li>Roth IRA accounts enjoy tax-free growth and withdrawals are tax-free in retirement.<\/li>\n<li>Traditional IRAs come with tax-deductible contributions and tax-deferred growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower contribution limits than employer-sponsored retirement accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Penalties for withdrawals made before age 59 1\/2.<\/li>\n<li>Income limits for Roth IRAs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><h2>3.

That makes taxable investment accounts a great option if you\u2019re\u00a0looking for ways to retire early.\n    <\/p>\n<p>But hold the phone!

Small Businesses and Self-Employed Retirement Accounts<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>More and more Americans are working for themselves as contractors, freelancers and small business owners. Many others work for a small business that might not have the resources to offer a full-fledged 401(k) plan yet.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Just because you\u00a0don\u2019t have access to a 401(k)\u00a0doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re out of options. The good news is that you\u00a0<em>do\u00a0<\/em>have some options!\n    <\/p>\n<h3>One-Participant 401(k)<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re self-employed and don&#8217;t have any employees, a\u00a0one-participant 401(k)\u2014also known as a\u00a0solo 401(k)\u2014was designed with you in mind.\u00a0You can contribute up to $24,500 in 2026 ($32,500 if you\u2019re age 50 or older, or $35,750 if you\u2019re age 60\u201363), and those contributions are tax-deductible.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Then, on top of that, you can put in an additional employer match\u2014up to 25% of your income\u2014as long as your total contributions are no more than $72,000 per year (not counting catch-up contributions).<sup>6<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<h3>SIMPLE IRA<\/h3>\n<p>Once you start hiring employees to help you take your business to the next level, that changes things. Now it\u2019s not just your retirement you have to worry about\u2014you have to start thinking about how to help your employees save for retirement too. That\u2019s a big deal! And a SIMPLE IRA can help with that.\n    <\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0SIMPLE IRA\u00a0is basically a start-up retirement savings plan for small businesses. This plan makes it easy for small business owners to save for their own retirement and contribute to their employees\u2019 retirement savings as well.\u00a0\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>In 2026, most employees can save up to $17,000 in the plan (some folks can contribute a higher amount to certain applicable SIMPLE retirement accounts. For 2026, this higher amount is $18,100). Anyone age 50 and older can save an extra $4,000 as a catch-up contribution. And for 2026, the higher catch-up contribution limit for anyone age 60\u201363 remains $5,250.<sup>7<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<h3>SEP-IRA<\/h3>\n<p>A\u00a0simplified employee pension (SEP-IRA) is another retirement plan option for small business owners or self-employed individuals, offering many of the major tax advantages of a traditional IRA.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>Unlike a SIMPLE IRA, which allows both employers and employees to contribute to the plan, only employers are allowed to contribute on behalf of their employees.\u00a0For 2026, employers can put up to 25% of an employee\u2019s salary into their account each year, up to a total contribution of $72,000.<sup>8<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Small Business and Self-Employed Retirement Accounts<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>More flexibility and more options<\/li>\n<li>Easier and less expensive to set up and operate.<\/li>\n<li>Plenty of tax benefits\u2014including tax deductions for any contributions small business owners make to their employees\u2019 accounts.<\/li>\n<li>For SIMPLE IRAS, employees and employers share responsibility for saving for retirement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Often have lower contribution limits than some other retirement plans<\/li>\n<li>No Roth option for SIMPLE IRAs.<\/li>\n<li>For SEPs, only the employer contributes and has to contribute the same rate for all employees.<\/li>\n<li>Steep early withdrawal penalties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Which Retirement Accounts Are Best for You?<\/h2>\n<p>Honestly, the answer depends on your situation.

You\u2019ll want to\u00a0meet with an investment professional\u00a0who can help you make the right decision.\n    <\/p>\n<p>But no matter who you are, you should be investing 15% of your gross income for retirement in good growth stock mutual funds (once you\u2019re out of debt with a fully funded emergency fund).\n    <\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb to follow when trying to decide which retirement accounts are best for you and where to start is this:\u00a0<em>Match<\/em>\u00a0beats\u00a0<em>Roth<\/em>\u00a0beats\u00a0<em>traditional<\/em>.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Here are our\u00a0general guidelines for how to make the most of your retirement account options, especially if you have access to a workplace plan.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Take advantage of your company match.<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the\u00a0<em>match.\u00a0<\/em>If you have an employer-based plan like a 401(k) at work with a company match, start by investing there up to the match.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say your company offers a 4% match. If you earn $60,000 a year and take advantage of your match, that\u2019s an extra $2,400 a year being invested for retirement! Once you\u2019re ready to start investing, the first thing you should do is invest in your 401(k) up to the company match. But\u00a0<em>do not\u00a0<\/em>count that employer match as part of your 15%\u2014that match is just the cherry on top of your sundae.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>If your\u00a0company offers a Roth 401(k) option, that\u2019s a deal too good to pass up.\u00a0<em>Take it!\u00a0<\/em>If you like your investment options in your Roth 401(k), you can simply invest your entire 15% there and you\u2019re done.\n    <\/p>\n<p>What if you\u00a0<em>don\u2019t\u00a0<\/em>have a company match at work? Then you\u2019ll start investing with a Roth IRA first and max out that account before investing in your 401(k).\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Open up a Roth IRA.<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve invested up to the company match, it\u2019s time to move on to the Roth IRA. Remember, the Roth IRA lets you enjoy tax-free growth\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Don\u2019t miss that!\n    <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a high-income earner, you might not be eligible to open up or contribute to a Roth IRA. That\u2019s okay! You can go with a traditional IRA instead.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Go back to your workplace plan.<\/h3>\n<p>So, what happens if you invest up to the match, max out your Roth IRA, and\u00a0<em>still\u00a0<\/em>haven\u2019t hit 15%? If that happens, you can go back to your workplace plan and bump up your contributions there until you hit 15%.\n    <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it! Between your employer-sponsored plan\u2014like a 401(k), 403(b) or TSP\u2014and a Roth IRA, you should be able to save enough money for retirement while enjoying the tax benefits both accounts have to offer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramseysolutions.com\/retirement\/types-of-retirement-accounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trying to sort through all of your retirement account options can be a daunting task.
