Overview
403(b) Plans
Employees of public schools, churches, hospitals and other non-profit organizations can invest for retirement through what’s known as a 403(b) tax-deferred retirement plan.
Not unlike 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans are qualified tax-advantaged retirement vehicles where participant contributions are made through payroll deductions and allocated to an account established for the participant. And, the plan sponsor can contribute a matching amount to encourage employees to take advantage of the benefit. Sponsors also have the option to allow a Roth provision so employees can grow their wealth tax free.
