As a benefit to the University of Miami faculty and staff members, Human Resources’ Total Rewards is excited to offer post-tax Roth contributions to your 403(b) retirement plan. Those who are interested in this contribution option can enroll as soon as December, with the first deduction occurring in January 2022.
What is the Roth option?
403(b) Roth contributions differ from traditional pre-tax contributions simply because of when you are taxed. Right now, you should be saving for retirement through the traditional 403(b) pre-tax retirement plan contributions. This means you pay taxes on contributions and earnings when you withdraw the funds at retirement. With the Roth option, you pay taxes on your contributions now, and then withdraw your contributions and any earnings tax-free at retirement. Having both options means you have more ways to save for retirement, with the potential for significant tax advantages.
