PAi’s brand is built on company roots and values. Founder Michael Kiley started PAi in 1983 with the specific purpose of making affordable, best-in-class retirement plans available to American small business owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 401(k)?

A 401(k) is a retirement savings plan named after the section of the Internal Revenue Code that oversees it. Its primary purpose is to facilitate saving for retirement. Employers commonly provide these plans to eligible employees as part of their benefits package.

How does 401(k) work?

Employees who enroll in a 401(k) commit to an automatically deposited percentage of each paycheck into an investment account. Employers may choose to match a portion of the contribution. Employees can select from various 401(k) plan investment options.

What is a Roth 401(k)?

A Roth 401(k) is a type of retirement savings plan that combines the features of a traditional 401(k) and a Roth IRA. It is named after Senator William Roth, who was instrumental in creating the legislation that made it possible. Unlike a traditional 401(k), where contributions are made with pre-tax income, contributions to a Roth 401(k) are made with after-tax income. It's essential to consider your current and future tax situation when deciding between a Roth 401(k) and a traditional 401(k). If you anticipate being in a higher tax bracket during retirement or want tax-free withdrawals, a Roth 401(k) might be more suitable.

How much can I contribute to my 401(k)?

Starting from January 1 to June 30, 2023, you can contribute up to $22,500 total to your retirement accounts. This limit also applies to 403(b) plans, most 457 plans, and certain other retirement plans.

Is 401(k) worth it?

Whether a 401(k) is worth it depends on various factors and individual circumstances. One significant advantage is the employer match, which can be considered "free money" and significantly boost retirement savings. The tax benefits of a traditional 401(k) can provide immediate tax savings, while a Roth 401(k) allows for tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Long-term savings and the convenience of automated contributions make it a popular retirement tool. Additionally, the portability of 401(k) funds allows for easy rollovers when changing jobs. However, limited investment options and early withdrawal penalties are potential downsides. Overall, if your employer offers a match and you have a long time horizon for retirement, a 401(k) can be a valuable tool. But assessing your financial situation and retirement goals is essential to determine the best approach, considering other options like IRAs. Seeking advice from a financial advisor can provide personalized guidance.

Can I contribute to 401(k) and IRA?

Yes, you can contribute to both a 401(k) and an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) simultaneously, subject to certain rules and contribution limits set by the IRS. Contributing to a 401(k) and an IRA can effectively diversify your retirement savings and take advantage of various tax benefits. It's essential to be aware of the contribution limits, tax implications, and other retirement savings options to make the best decision based on your individual financial situation and retirement goals.

Can You switch 401(k) Providers?

Yes, you can switch 401(k) providers, but the process and options may vary depending on your specific situation and employer's plan rules. If you change jobs, you can leave the funds in your current 401(k), transfer them to your new employer's plan (if allowed), or roll them over into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Some 401(k) plans may also offer an "in-service" rollover option, allowing you to transfer funds to an IRA while still employed. If your employer decides to change the entire company's 401(k) provider, they will communicate the transition details. When switching providers, it's crucial to understand any fees, investment choices, and administrative aspects.

What happens when a Company switches 401(k) Providers?

When a company switches 401(k) providers, several changes occur. The company will communicate the switch to all employees, providing details about the new provider and any relevant deadlines. Existing 401(k) accounts will be migrated seamlessly to the new provider, including the current balance and investment selections. Employees may need to review and update their investment choices based on the new plan's offerings. Administrative aspects, such as account management tools and customer service, may differ with the new provider. Employees should confirm or update beneficiary designations and understand any changes in contribution processes and employer match policies. Fees and expenses may also differ in the new plan, requiring careful review. Educational resources will be available to help employees make informed decisions. Overall, it's essential to review the information provided, attend informational sessions, and seek guidance from the new provider or a financial advisor to navigate the transition successfully.
