 3 Minutes

Even if you’re just starting your first real job—actually, especially if you’re just starting your first real job—it’s time to start thinking about retirement. 

That’s because you, like many people, will be responsible for supporting yourself during the 30 or 40 years you can expect to live after you retire. To do that, you need a source of income that will stretch further than the safety net of Social Security and be more reliable than winning the lottery.

Some—but increasingly fewer—employers offer traditional pensions, which pay you retirement income based on your final salary and time on the job. Others contribute to a cash balance, profit sharing, or another plan on your behalf. But most employers offer you, instead, the opportunity to participate in a salary reduction plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b).

## On the Bandwagon

If your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b), it’s usually the most painless way to set aside money for the future. All you have to do is agree to have a percentage of your gross income to be withheld each pay period.

Participating in one of these plans has a few possible advantages:

- Any tax-deferred contributions reduce your current income taxes since they’re subtracted from your income before tax withholding is calculated.
- Contributions to a tax-free Roth 401(k) or 403(b) aren’t deductible. But when you withdraw after 59½, your earnings are tax-free (as long as your account has been open for at least five years).
- Many employers match a percentage of the contributions you make, building your retirement funds even faster.

Any earnings in your retirement plan account accumulate tax deferred. That means the earnings are reinvested to increase the base on which additional earnings can accumulate, a process called compounding.

## Why Now?

When compounding is involved, time is money. The more years that you add contributions to your plan, and the more years that any earnings increase your principal, the larger your account balance has the potential to grow.

[Experiment with different savings scenarios using our "Savings Calculator" here!](https://mct.banzai.org/wellness/resources/savings-calculator)

Of course, there are no guarantees about either the rate or the regularity of the earnings. They may be awesome one year and dismal the next, or they may go through longer, but still alternating, periods of growth and decline. That’s the reality of investing. Having time on your side means that bumps in the road, like a period when investment prices go down and your account value shrinks, don’t have to be fatal.

## Bright and Early

To show the impact of starting to invest as early as you can in a 401(k) or other retirement savings plan, compare the potential results if you began investing at different points in your working life. To keep matters simple, assume your employer doesn’t match your contributions and you put in the same amount each year you participate.

Remember that returns are not guaranteed. Your return could be low, and you could lose as well as make money.

**401(k) Plan Started at Age 45**

You decide to enjoy the money you have while you’re young, and you don’t start contributing to your 401(k) until you’re 45. If you contribute $5,000 a year and average an 8% annual return, you’ll have about $247,000 in your account if you stop contributing at 65, based on a total contribution of $100,000.

**401(k) Plan Started at Age 35**

When you reach 35, you realize it’s time to get serious about the future, so you start contributing $5,000 a year to your 401(k). Your investment return averages 8% a year. When you retire at 65, your account value will be about $611,000, based on a total contribution of $150,000.

**401(k) Plan Started at Age 25**

You start contributing to a 401(k) at 25, as soon as you’re eligible for a plan. You contribute $5,000 a year for 40 years until you retire at 65. Your return averages 8%, so your account value is almost $1.4 million, based on a total contribution of $200,000.

## A 401(k) by Any Other Name

401(k) plans are the most common, and best-known, employer-sponsored salary reduction plans. But they’re not the only ones. If you work for a not-for-profit organization such as a school or college, a hospital, a cultural institution, or a charitable organization, your employer may offer a 403(b) plan, which operates in much the same way as a 401(k).

Similarly, the plan a state or municipal government offers may be a 457 plan, while federal government departments and agencies provide a thrift savings plan (TSP). And if you work for a small company—one with fewer than 100 employees—you may be part of a SIMPLE plan, an acronym for Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees.

The rules differ slightly for each type of plan, and even among plans of the same type. But all offer the opportunity for tax-deferred earnings.
