Your Contributions

You may contribute between 1% and 50% of your eligible pay to your plan account, up to annual IRS limits.

2024 contribution limits

  • $23,000​ if you’re under age 50
  • $30,500 if you are age 50 or older this year (which includes an additional $7,500 in catch-up contributions)

These limits include your pre-tax contributions, Roth post-tax contributions, or a combination of both.

Pre-tax vs. Roth post-tax: What’s the difference?

The 401(k) gives you the flexibility to save for retirement with pre-tax contributions, Roth post-tax contributions, or both.

  • With Pre-tax contributions – the money goes into your account before taxes are deducted, so you keep more of your take-home pay.
  • With Roth post-tax contributions – the money goes into your account after taxes are withheld, but both your contributions and any associated earnings can be withdrawn tax-free in retirement.*
  • With after-tax contributions – the money goes into your account after taxes are withheld, and you may transfer a portion of your 401(k) savings into a Roth account within the same plan.

*In order for Roth earnings to be withdrawn tax-free, you must be at least 59½ (or the withdrawal follows death or total disability), and at least five years must have elapsed since your first Roth contribution.

Catch up!

If you’ll be 50 or older this year, take advantage of the opportunity to contribute up to an additional $7,500 in catch-up contributions.

Boost your retirement income with HSA savings

If you’re enrolled in the Regence BCBS Traditional and SelectHealth CDHP, Kaiser Permanente HMO CDHP, or Regence BCBS HPN CDHP with a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can invest the money in your HSA to build long-term savings for retirement! An HSA is a tax-free way to save money and maximize how much of your 401(k) or other retirement accounts can be used to support your lifestyle.

Company Contributions

Myriad Genetics helps you reach your retirement goals faster by making matching contributions to your account. Myriad Genetics matches 50% of the first 8% of your eligible contributions.

Here’s how the company match works:

Company match: For every $1.00 you contribute, the company contributes $0.50 and $1.50 goes into your account! (up to 6% of your pay).

Don’t say no to free money!

Contribute at least 8% to take full advantage of the match — otherwise, you’re leaving free money on the table. Log in to your Fidelity Investments account to increase your contribution rate.

Vesting

Vesting is another way of saying “how much of the money is yours to keep if you leave the company.”

You are always 100% vested in your own contributions, including any investment gains and losses on the money. You become vested in company contributions after a two-year cliff vesting period.

Name a Beneficiary

It’s important to designate a beneficiary to receive the value of your 401(k) account in the event you die before beginning to receive your benefit. As personal circumstances change, be sure to keep that information up to date. Visit the Fidelity Investments website to add or change your beneficiary.

Withdrawals and Loans

The money in your account is a long-term investment to help you prepare for your financial needs in retirement. However, under certain circumstances, you may be able to access money from your account before reaching retirement age. For more information, visit the Fidelity Investments website or call 1-800-835-5095.

Think before you act

  • If you’re considering taking a withdrawal or loan from your plan account, be sure to think about the impact it may have on your future. Taking money from your account now may lead to a smaller savings balance when you retire.
  • Not only are you taking money away from your retirement savings, but the burden of repaying the loan may make it harder to get back on track.
  • If you take a loan, you’ll also lose more money to taxes because the interest payments on your loan are made with money that has already been taxed, and it will be taxed again when withdrawn from your account.
  • If you withdraw pre-tax money from your plan account, in addition to paying current taxes on the money, you may have to pay an additional 10% penalty tax if you are younger than age 59½ (or, age 55 if you have retired or left the company).
