Perguntas frequentes

Traditional 401k vs Roth -- which is better?

Traditional if you're in a high tax bracket now and expect lower in retirement. Roth if you're in a low bracket now or expect higher future taxes. Many advisors suggest both (tax diversification).

What's the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?

Marginal rate is what you pay on the next dollar earned (e.g., 22%). Effective rate is your total tax divided by total income (typically much lower, e.g., 15-18%).
