Roth vs Traditional 401(k) Comparison
See whether a Roth or Traditional 401(k) leaves more money in your pocket at retirement.
Roth (after-tax, tax-free at withdrawal)
$1,700,294
Final account value $1,700,294. No tax owed on withdrawal if rules are met.
Traditional (pre-tax, taxed at withdrawal)
$1,475,395
Final value $1,700,294, taxed at withdrawal $255,044, plus tax saved today compounded at 7%.
Verdict — Traditional
Your expected retirement bracket is meaningfully lower than today's — the front-end tax break dominates.
Tax saved today
$118,800
Difference (Roth − Traditional)
$224,900
Compounding years
30
These ignore contribution-limit differences (Roth has income limits; 401(k) match is only available pre-tax), early-withdrawal penalties, and state tax. Most planners recommend a mix when future rates are uncertain.
