lets say ur salary is flat 100K for 5 yrs..

and u put 19.5K limit in 401K with employer matching. of 100% upto 5K so ur annual contribution will be 24.5K per year. Tax free. 

every year u are paying tax only for 75.5K which falls under 20% tax bracket for assumption. = 15.15K per year on federal tax.

without contribution u would pay = 20K tax.

============================================

401K avg return 8% eskundam for 5years... which is gain of 10K for 5 year period + your 24.5K limit x5  === total net worth of 401k after 5 years  = 122.5 + 10K = 132k.

nuvvu india vellipoyavanuko, and withdraw 10K every year for 10years...

ne salary tax bracket almost 10% untadi max. and on top of it u pay 10% penalty for that 10K . = 1000$ for 10years... = 10K.

so nee growth = 10K adi tax lo kattestunnav as early withdrawl..

but u end up with 132 K which u never paid tax for kada....so ne dabbul neekuntai...

incase tax ekkuva kattina, employer contribution will cover those charges/expenses...nuvvu contribute chesinavi neeku vastai any given day...

 

 

PS: math numbers might be off...just illustration purpose...malli math tappu ani dobbakandi...

entha cheppina ...some newbies feel like its a cutting from current jeetham and wont help.

immediate ga..nen India move aipotey enti ? aney question esthaaru .
