The Roth Plan

Your retirement plan may offer two savings options: traditional pre-tax contributions and Roth contributions. The new Roth contribution option can afford significant tax advantages to some taxpayers. But who? The answer depends on a number of factors, and some of those factors require predictions of the future.

This presentation can help you decide which option is best for you. Work your way through the following factors in making the pre-tax v. Roth contribution decision. As you go, we'll explain the factors that are important to consider and ask you to provide information about yourself.
