Why use your plan? Pretax savings advantages The impact on your paycheck may be less than the amount you contribute due to the plan’s tax advantages. Savings rate: 12% 10% 8% Value of your contribution 161.54 134.62 107.69 80.77 Actual deduction from your pay 129.23 107.69 86.15 64.62 . 6% Assumes annual compensation of 35,000 paid at a bi-weekly frequency. The actual deduction from your pay assumes a 20% federal tax rate and does not consider the impact of state and local taxes. The calculation also does not consider income tax deductions that may be available to you, which would reduce the benefits of saving on a pretax basis. The IRS limits the maximum contribution you can save from your pay in 2019 to 19,000. Once you reach this limit for the year, you will not be able to make further contributions for the remainder of the year and may miss out on further employer matching contributions. This illustration assumes you make equal contributions each pay period throughout the year. The most important step to saving for your future is starting. Join the plan 8
