Mee employer sponsor chesedi em ledu akkada, at the max he will pay the fees for managing your company. ROTH IRA may also be good for you. You can save a max of 17k per year into 401k. It will add up in last.. You can take loan out of it in future if you need buy some big investment (say home), you will still pay interest, but that interest will go back to your account (paying to yourself) lets say, you plan to go back to India, you can take money from your 401k next year when you dont have US income, so tax bracket is super low than your working year in US and you pay fine(9-10%) since you are removing before retirement. Employer match chesthe, no doubt you should enroll  this is not right, most FT companies match 401k upto 6% when you contribute.This is reason lot of people contribute just to get free money from employer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say you got 5K from your 401k as loan(its pre tax money), and you took loan for 5 years, you have to pay back 5000$/(5x12) + APR assuming you have 12 pay checks per year. nuvvu kattalsina amount nee after tax money nunchi cut autundi .. so techincally you are adding tax to your loan amount by paying back  ardam kakapotey cheppu inko laa explain cheyyadaniki try chestha  took me like a month to figure it out Yea got it.

If you plan to save now and want to retrieve in  few years and then don't plan for this until unless you employer is matching.  In Non-ideal situations , if you want to withdraw money ASsume you are making 100k and you withdraw 20k from your 401k then  you will be charged taxes for 120k+ 10% penalty for withdrawing early from 401k . But in other cases like when you move to India and want to withdraw 20k and then you will be charged taxes for 20k (which you can claim back since you only make 20k for year)+10% penality.  I think you can do this (with drawing while you are in INDIA ) for 2 years and after that any money you bring back to india will be taxed (Double taxation ) - Can someone verify on this.I remember reading somewhere but 100% sure.  thanks man for breaking it down. My desi mestri od not contributing or matching.

AS other mentioned , you still save some money in taxes. Â My Situation is exact as you (my desi employer doesn't contribute)Â but i still contribute and max out my 401k to save on taxes.
