401(k)

An employer-sponsored retirement account with tax advantages and often a match.

A 401(k) is a workplace retirement plan you fund from your paycheck, often with an employer match. Traditional contributions are pre-tax, lowering your taxable income now.

Withdrawals in retirement are taxed; capturing the full employer match is usually the highest-priority retirement move.
