A 401(k) can be one of your best tools for creating a secure retirement. It provides you with two important advantages. First, all contributions and earnings to your 401(k) are tax-deferred. You only pay taxes on contributions and earnings when the money is withdrawn. Second, many employers provide matching contributions to your 401(k) account.
This is the percentage of your annual salary you contribute to your 401(k) plan each year. Your annual 401(k) contribution is subject to maximum limits established by the IRS.
**401K_ANNUAL_LIMITS** **CATCHUP_CONTRIBUTION_NOTES** Employer contributions do not count toward the IRS annual contribution limit.
Employees classified as "Highly Compensated" may be subject to additional limits based on their employer's overall 401(k) participation. **401k_HIGHLY_COMPENSATED**
This is your annual salary from your employer, before taxes and other benefit deductions. Since your contribution and employer match are based on the salary paid to you by your employer, do not include any income you may receive from sources other than your employer.
Su edad actual.
Edad en la que planea jubilarse. This calculator assumes that the year you retire, you do not make any contributions to your 401(k). For example, if you retire at age 65, your last contribution occurs when you are actually 64.
The starting balance or current amount you have invested or saved in your 401(k).
The annual rate of return for your 401(k) account. This calculator assumes that your return is compounded annually and your deposits are made monthly. La tasa de rendimiento real depende en gran medida de los tipos de inversiones que elija. El índice Standard & Poor's 500® (S&P 500®) durante los últimos 10 años que finalizaron el 31 de diciembre de 2025, tuvo una tasa de rendimiento compuesta anual de 14.8 %, con la reinversión de dividendos. Desde el 1 de enero de 1970 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2025, la tasa de rendimiento compuesta anual promedio del S&P 500®, con la reinversión de dividendos, fue aproximadamente del 11.3 % (fuente: www.spglobal.com). Desde 1970, el rendimiento más alto a 12 meses fue del 61 % (desde junio de 1982 hasta junio de 1983). El rendimiento más bajo a 12 meses fue del -43 % (desde marzo de 2008 hasta marzo de 2009). Las cuentas de ahorro en una institución financiera pagan menos, pero conllevan un riesgo significativamente menor de pérdida de saldos de capital.
Es fundamental tener en cuenta que estos escenarios son meramente hipotéticos y que las tasas de rendimiento futuras no pueden preverse con certeza. Además, las inversiones que ofrecen tasas de rendimiento más altas suelen estar expuestas a un mayor riesgo y volatilidad. La tasa real de rendimiento de las inversiones puede variar significativamente con el tiempo, en especial en las inversiones a largo plazo. También puede implicar la posible pérdida de capital invertido. No es posible invertir directamente en un índice y la tasa de rendimiento compuesta mencionada anteriormente no incluye los cargos por ventas ni otras tarifas que imponen los fondos de inversión o las empresas de inversión.
The annual percentage you expect your salary to increase. The calculator assumes that your salary will continue to increase at this rate until you retire.
The percentage of your annual 401(k) contributions your employer will match. These contributions are often capped. Please read the definition for "Employer maximum" for more information. Also note employer contributions do not count toward the IRS annual contribution limit.
Matching contributions can also be subject to a vesting schedule. See your plan information for details.
This is the maximum percent of your salary matched by your employer, regardless of the amount you decide to contribute.
For example, let's assume your employer provides a 50% match on the first 6% of your annual salary that you contribute to your 401(k). If you have an annual salary of $100,000 and contribute 6%, your contribution will be $6,000 and your employer's 50% match will be $3,000 ($6,000 x 50%), for a total of $9,000. If you only contribute 3%, your contribution will be $3,000 and your employer's 50% match will be $1,500, for a total of $4,500.
If you increase your contribution to 10%, you will contribute $10,000. Your employer's 50% match is limited to the first 6% of your salary then limits your employer's contribution to $3,000 on a $100,000 salary. The total 401(k) contribution from you and your employer would therefore be $13,000.
