  • After Tax Strategy – when you set aside a portion of your after tax income into an account earmarked for retirement. Taxes are paid annually on any earnings. An example of this type of savings is a Certificate of Deposit.
  • Tax-Deferred Strategy – when you set aside a portion of your after tax income for retirement, earnings on the account grow tax-deferred. When retirement income is taken, taxes are due on the tax-deffered gain. A Non-Deductible IRA or annuity is an example of this type of savings.
  • Pre-Tax Strategy – might include an Employer sponsored qualified plan, like a 401(k) and 403(b) plan. You don’t pay current taxes on contributions made to the plan and earnings grow tax-deffered. Later when you take retirement income the benefits are income taxable.
  • Tax-Free Strategy – is similar to the Tax-Deferred Strategy: you set aside a portion of your after tax income, and earnings grow tax-deferred. Retirement income is received income tax free. A Roth IRA is an example of this type of savings. Another type of finiancial vehicle is permanent life insurance.
